IN THE SILKY SLUMBER OF NIGHT - 27 10 12

In the silky slumber of night I hear him, Axel's noises. 

My body stands and pulls on a gown whilst my molecules are still sleeping. 

Like a ghost I glide down the stairs to the lounge where he sleeps. 

In the small light I stand in an empty room, bewildered. 

The memory, like the last piece of luggage on the airport conveyor, appears, to remind me he's not here. 

He's at the respite home. 

I dream Axel.
