janet thorning : “love song”

 

Mommy has been dead for twenty four hours. Her favorite song is playing on the radio—how much is that doggy in the window. She used to sing it every morning—gray sky or blue, while she was making breakfast. Daddy hated it—hated it so much he walked around the house with his fingers jammed in his ears until she was finished. The funny thing is, when he died, she stopped singing it.

 

Janet Thorning lives in Toronto, Ontario, with her husband & three children. Janet is currently working on her first poetry chapbook & her first novel, & she has recently published in The Boston Literary Magazine, The Rambler, Arabesques Review, & 971 MENU. Upcoming publications include Nano Fiction, Cadenza & Bateau Press.
