An old penny
Palm sized on a child's hand
now green under the garden fork,
trouser legged, through a threadbare pocket.
A touch stone into bags of sweets
bare knees and scabs that bleed
tones pressed of autumn leaves.
A champion of medals
earned by crushing petals,
three still glisten somewhere.

If your undies fer you've been smoking through em, don't peg em out
