The Last Day Stella Saw Daddy
Mummy & Daddy yelling
Again again always
Always always yelling
Daddy’s breath smells
Mummy crying
Daddy says bad words
Lots of loud bad words
Pushes Mummy over
Daddy lets the door bang
I get told off if I do that
Daddy makes the car roar
Stones and dirt hit the window
At least now it’s quiet
Except for Mummy sobbing on the floor
I go to her: Mummy I’m hungry
Go away she screams
I don’t know where to go
Compelling. Difficult. Well-done.
