Permanence

I found you on the landing
Worried spilt red wine

I found you in the day’s post
A2 speeding fine

I found you in the kitchen
Burnt fags out of time

I found you on my tea mug
Your lips next to mine

I found you in all these things
I find you all the time

Awake. 5 a.m.

Quietly you snore
Rising and falling
My hibernating bear
and I know something you don’t

It has come.

This lonely hour of morning
When the leaves are asleep
The flowers tucked in

Angels fall from heaven
