Shadorma #67 (A Capital Idea)

I would sleep

on my stomach if

I could just

remove my

head every night and put it

back on the next day.

It’s early;

we kick the cats out

of our room,

then wait for

the barrage from four strong paws

until we relent.

Shattered

As we grow older

Broken sleep is companion

To golden slumbers. 😴

Night Moves

Sleeping in day-bed

Under heaps of blankets, just

Feels Dickensian.

The First Sound

Vehicle shoots past

Dissolving into silence—

Life in the country

Skat@2020

Sleeping In

He lies between us,

Stealing space, sharing my breath—

Boat-motor running

Morning in Bed

Persistent rain drops
Onto newly shingled roof
Distant wind chimes ping.

Lazy

Remaining in bed
I hear the rain falling down–
Bird voices all hush.

Victoria Day

Because we honour
Her Majesty today, I’ll
have breakfast in bed!

Abed

We get entangled
in undercover tangos—
lovers over friends.
