When
it
’s
late
enough
to
say
it
’s
evening
,
and
dinner
has
been
made
and
eaten
,
and
the
kitchen
is
cleared
of
dishes
and
dissent,
I
pull
on
pyjamas
and
climb
into
bed
with
my
books
and
my
blankets
and
dreams
.
Surrounded
by
stories
and
fur
and
confessions
I
send
my
voice
across
great
distances.
I
want
to
write
a
poem
that
has
never
been
written
,
but
the
past
is
there
for
me
to
read
and
every
word
I
think
is
new
is
only
new
to
me
.
I
would
give
back
my
name
to
the
star
that
birthed
me
for
the
chance
to
make
myself
something
you
’ve
never
seen
.
Something
unafraid.
Something
that
stays.
