His:
Books, tissues,
Forgotten lists of 'things to do'.
Clothes, strewn.
Slippers, chewed.
A crumpled beer can
Crouched like an old man.
The window and the radiator,
A magazine stashed for later.
The TV remote,
The remains of toast.
A novelty alarm clock.
A gathering of lost socks.

Hers:
Suggestive comments
In horoscopes, riding comets
To the stars,
Or the stairs.
The wardrobe and the hoovered bit.
A place to sit
And apply make up.
Friends' letters about break-ups.
Ten green bottles of perfume.
Room.
Neatly arranged dreams.

Theirs:
The space in between.
