‘Suburban Sonnet’ (Gwen Harwood)

She practises a fugue, though it can matter to no one if she plays well or not.

Besides her on the floor two children chatter, then scream and fight. She hushes them…

…A pot boils over. As she rushes to the stove too late a wave of nausea overpowers subject and counter-subject.

…Zest and love drain out with soapy water as she scours the crusted milk.

…Her veins ache. Once she played for Rubinstein, who yawned….

…The children caper round a sprung mouse trap where a mouse lies dead. When the soft corpse won’t move they seem afraid.

She comforts them; and wraps it in a paper featuring: Tasty dishes from stale bread.
