I can
xsense you,
xxyellow, one
xxxinch thick, curved.
xxxxYou’re not alone,
xxxxxthough the others
xxxxxxare too obscure. They
xxxxxxxdon’t visualise clearly.
xxxxxxxI’m dozing but I’m
xxxxxxxwell aware of shape
xxxxxxxunder my head, hiding.
xxxxxxxI’m fully clothed below
xxxxxxxmy quilt, and carrying
xxxxxxxmy Puma pen-knife.
xxxxxxxI slash your blue
xxxxxxxcover and white
xxxxxxxcotton inner bit.
xxxxxxxI even walk
xxxxxxxdownstairs
xxxxxwith you,
xxxxxbefore I
xxxxrealise
xxxthere is
xxno fruit
xin my
pillow.
