And yet another for C & C:
Unpacking And
tugging orange kitchens curtains that almost close
while running the bath, the sound of it
and next door’s telly. Hanging Van Gogh’s Café,
taking it down. Then shivering into the bathroom,
getting undressed. Soap from the last flat,
still soft. Turn off the cold tap. More hot.
Naked. Crouched. Lowering. Slowly leaning back,
seeing the tide-mark his water reached to,
his toilet roll hanging, the last sheet creased.
