Trivet

In sight of close calls
beat the plaster off the wall.
Claustrophobic area;
waking up to nothing.
Remember one name.
Catch the corner of the page.
Close the book and never look
back again
Crawl out from the walls;
break your fall.
Redesign the shadows
Underneath it all
we stay calm
and overprotective.
Last night I was up again till three…
watching TV.
And using both hands
draw a breath as best you can.
Catch the ring before it slips
out of reach.
Remember anything;
red wine split to shards;
Cut the corners off the project
and let me sleep
Last night I was up again till three…
watching TV.
