Alison Cassidy - A Bump Under the Doona

Alison Cassidy - A Bump Under the Doona

A bump under the doona, br there br to share br the emptiness. br br My mute companion, br licking me br lovingly br over eight tangled weeks. br br I listen to the wheeze br of her doggy breath br and drift into dreams br of trolleys and hospital corridors. br br I walk her before dawn. br She doesn't complain, br but bounds to the door br to bark at the moon. br br My faithful Ella, br watchdog without peer br lifts a paw quizzically br ‘I'm here. I’m here’.
