sitting room
plastic-marbled
chest-height handle
smell of sofa-linen
and wood-fire evenings
with company
and dark green wines
cool black boards and
the white patterned carpet
with almost-meeting
castle walls
brow-height mantelpiece
on jungle green
and the piano in the
corner with duff bass keys –
plant-shaking
