It's Morning

and my wife gets up early for work.

She kisses me, shuts the door

and the cat comes and meows.


I reach down and stroke her.

Acknowledging this, she gets back

into her box and curls up.


We stay like this – me in bed,

Bluebell asleep in her box.

Just me and her.


And I can’t say I know

what happiness is,

but maybe this comes close.
