I wake to rain and thunder
take one look
and
dive back underneath
the duvet

time to read a book and
count the many ways in
which
I have escaped days such as this.

She
turns and pops a kiss upon my cheek
says to me,
seek and you shall see
the kitchen
go and make some tea

She
Is so right

and so
I shake the night out of my eyes
and Wednesday's Sun begins
to rise
she calls and says
bring two mince pies
it's nearly Christmas
don't you know.
