What I Have Now Lost, poem by Cecilia Morris.
What I Have Now Lost
Grandfathers gold fob watch
Two husbands
Uterus and fallopian tubes
Part detachment of retina in eyes
Recipes I was always going to make
Teeth teeth teeth
Glossy hair
Friends
Fathers only letter
Socks
Knickers
Ordered cupboards
Bone density
Height
7 hours straight sleep
