Robert Adamson : My House
My mother lives in a house
where nobody has ever died
she surrounds herself
and her family with light
each time I go home
I feel she is washing
and ironing the clothes of death
these clothes for work
and for going out
to the Club on Sunday
and for Jenny to take her baby
to the doctor in
death comes on the television
and mum laughs
saying there's death again
I must get those jeans taken up

Audio tapes of many ABC programs, including much of Books and Writing, can be ordered by mail. Check out the writers and issues that current host Ramona Koval (photo, above) will be interviewing this week - link to the ABC Internet site at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/bwriting/bsummary.htm
