Sleeping in the Library
The house hums a harmony of children
settled in their occupations
and rain taps drumming thrumming
fingers on the roof
tapotement
a heater makes the air drowsy
as the book is savoured line by line
the sound salve
spreads
like an unguent
and sleep settles on my shoulders like paisley shawl
