Housekeeper

She made the four corners of our bed 
like she was shaping 
a tombstone 

gently 
she smoothed out 
the wrinkles 
so as not to disturb 
the dead

Dark but I love it. Gives an interesting insight to maids, military etc.

It happens; often so slowly that we do not recognise it until it is too late to turn back the covers and rumple the sheets.

Beccy.

Makes you want to sleep standing up - interesting short bitter/sweet write - loved it really! :-)

Nice and tight, ship shape...just like they teach you in the service! Good to see you again, Terry!
