Jill reminds me of Trish

Most of all
Her whitehoney and syrup reflection
in the empty smear television set
Less so
when she brings her leaf-red children's slides
falling down her head around hilly neat lips
here to our little collective
(2 by 4 desks,)
offering tea or complimenting
my new mahogany hair
Trish was smaller and more freckled
Jill has a paleness verging on Sian's
but her leaf-red children's slides
falling down her head around hilly neat lips
are Trish's, I'm certain
