THE RIGHT PLACE
THE RIGHT PLACE
THE RIGHT PLACE
You’ve fetched a duvet and laid itlightly over the shoulders
of someone beside you who’s slipped
unwittingly into sleep.
And drifting off yourself
on a sofa somewhere you’ve sensed
the same weight settle and known
how the warmth around you will soon
deepen your sleep. And that’s something,
whatever else you’ve done or not done.
