#11 Kevin Brophy 'An ordinary end to an ordinary day'

When, at the end of the day the cat
pushes its body against you
with a little more pressure than you expected
as you sit under a sky trying its best
to find a way to rain on the garden
and Rosamund arrives with champagne,
Sophie and Alex arrive with Catan,
and Raph is cooking up the curry
you showed him how to make,
something somewhere has fallen into
place.
