Blush

Out on the razzle last night
and back in the small hours,
fall into bed, skirts akimbo.

Open one eye with
the shouts of the dawn
and the dazzle of daylight
– my head hurts.

Half-see who is there
alongside in the bed.
Oh no.
Please not again.
Sharing with weeds
past their prime, gone
to seed. Oh please
not again. Cover me
up, let me hide.
