I much prefer this   nights at home
no stumbling   on the wards   the rain
 tango  on the
warm tin roof   cats
alert  to   someone  too forlorn   after
midnight   they make themselves
a
buttress pressed against the flanks
aligning their soft breathing   lung to lung
this large bed   alive   with concentration
I am soothed    to fall   at first light   off
against the odds   and waking  find 
the pain  has softened   into fur
