between the cracks

Jenny always said hello

she used 'dear' and 'gorgeous' with aplomb, making them desirable things to be

She was bright and beautiful

and sharp and stylish

and unfussy

She loved words, stories, pictures and art

(and could not believe that we went to see Australia - what? oh it sounds AWFUL)

Jenny always offered champagne

She did not want

a funeral

or singing

or a celebration of her life

Jenny always believed that dead was dead

And was sparkling role model of

how to live.
