On My Bed at Night

In silence, on my bed at night
the intimate breadth through my nose
keeps me company in peace.

Outside the machines are
rushing, spurting their filth.

Agitated voices soar
in a cracking storm, squashed underneath and bursting.

Footsteps, a door opening and closing.
A life is lived,
a soul, a jewel, moves and is loved.

All this in silence, on my bed at night.
