Bum Marks



 I’m just given the cottage a once over
The bathroom is spruced and the kitchen and living room are immaculate 
I’ve got friends coming around for supper. 
The first time I’ve had friends around since before lockdown 
On the hall wall there is a scuff mark
One day I will paint over it but not yet.
I hope my guests don’t think I’m a slob
But to be honest I don’t care if they do.
The scuff mark is of William’s bum
He loved to rub it on the wall and did so until he squealed in painful pleasure
The marks are  layers of Welsh terrier hair oil
Left with much delight and satisfaction over several years
One day, I will paint over them
But not yet

William, a few weeks before he died
