Pillows

Rolling drowsily across the plain of an empty bed,
the full light of day now tearing at the curtains,

my head touched down on the cool pillow
where yours had just lain the long night,

and found it still soft as risen dough,
unlike my own, all twisted up and plaited,

creased with a record of the restive thoughts
that had trespassed through and into my dreaming.
