I thank you
For your quiet screams
I scarcely hear you
For your rare and gentle
Furtive flitting
Room to room
I have no need to lie wide eyed
Await awake
In fear the dark
The cracking on my door
Your stick
Is gone
So why still
Hover in the hall
Bouquet in hand
Localised
Somehow solemn
Maybe sitting on the tiles
