I know the lonely days by heart.

Even as a child,

floating my ship to school

across enemy seas,

with its peppermint sails unfurled,

I fought dragons

and demon gnats

alone ...

Share the lonely days with me

and I'll show you castles

only I know about ...

lavender books

and clouds of steam

from the tea pot ...

Lonely days were meant for two.
