A piece of poetry by inky, based on the terraced house on Lark Hill Place. A restored Victorian Street in Salford’s Museum and art gallery.
Old building by cobbles,
Oak table , and chairs
Copper kettle boiling on the stove
near to the stairs
Fruit from the Grocers,
cutup and cored,
is ready for the pie bowl
in the oven its stored
Washboard, and Dolly Tub
in Backyard unhooked
ready for washing
that’s been overlooked
And when its been cleaned
and gleaming with pride
they’ll dry on a line
on pegs hanging outside

Sweep by the cobbles
some work is his goal
so he watches the chimney
as the food cooks on coals
And today, family living here
is having them a guest,
so they’ve laid out the cutlery
and porcelain that is best.

wonderful poem. speechless
