My wife asleep
In Summer, only the sheet.
The duvet discarded like a shed
Skin at the foot of the bed.
Her torso covered, cocooned against cold,
Yet a mermaid’s tail spreads
Over her feet.
Count the creases and folds
To work out how long
She’s been asleep.
In Summer, only the sheet.
The duvet discarded like a shed
Skin at the foot of the bed.
Her torso covered, cocooned against cold,
Yet a mermaid’s tail spreads
Over her feet.
Count the creases and folds
To work out how long
She’s been asleep.
