The Last Jar



What if this were the last jar of Marmite in the World?
I confess I mourn the passing of Pear’s soap
rich with rosemary and the baths of childhood

But what if this were the last jar of Marmite in the World?

Clothes decades un-seen,
revealed from trunks and boxes are tangible memories,
denied to relentless tidiers

But what if this were the last jar of Marmite in the World?

Madeleines worked for Marcel,
giving taste to his rememberances

But what if this were the last jar of Marmite in the World?
