Maggie Sawkins<br />
In Good Time<br />
You will pack your suitcase with the few things that haven’t been<br />
buried or burnt. You’ll put on your overcoat and lock the door. You’ve spent so<br />
many days rehearsing, you think at times you may already have gone. Yet you<br />
know you must still be here for each morning you see a face in the fisheye<br />
mirror which looks remarkably like your own. Your funeral outfit still hangs<br />
unworn in the wardrobe, and the suede boots, that didn’t have holes in the<br />
soles this time last year, are riddled. Just yesterday you noticed fresh coffee<br />
rings on the nest of tables, next to a suit of Tarot, a plate of crumbs.<br />
Gather up your collection of wishbones saving the starling’s for the<br />
benighted one who left before you in a storm. You’ll be in good time.<br />
