Tonight

"Tonight

The hail does not beat down on our red-tiled roof

in time with your breathing

but together they cocoon me tonight

the children asleep within

the front door bolted against

the shouting is not directed at me,

I can ignore it

and I don’t notice the cars

squealing round our corner,

a sound that fills my head

on nights you’re out."
