things i think about lying awake at night

the cat asleep on the kitchen chair downstairs
the wind whistling through the grass on the moor
that dark pond I glimpsed through the trees
the centre of the earth
blue whales on the move
those distant fireworks
..far off
..in the middle of nowhere
..last new year
my devoted squadron of 10.000 female kamikaze pilots
the owl sanctuary and how I’m glad I don’t live next to it at this hour.
