A line cast, a hope followed

A basement full of dusty jam jars, rusty faucets, cobwebs. Coincidentally, also the place I hang my laundry to dry. Lights or darks, depending on the load.

The raccoons were back last night
Twin stripes of curiosity
Squinting into the light of my room
They see me sharing
A bed with Seamus Heaney
Quelling fears of loneliness with lonely words
Turn and leave,
Our company unfit for their jolly mood.
