Claire
This was when she used to fall asleep
on her portable typewriter
and wake up with the keys
impressed on her cheeks –
warty, we would guess, or wordy,
trying to make out the code –
actually, tired.
In the middle of the night she tried
to type out a dream –
my pillow a sheet of paper –
you might make more sense we suggested
if you could sleep a little straighter.
