Still blanket

Poem

Under a blanket
In foetal position 

Like bug resting underneath a petal 
Screening the light
Warming in the shade 

Protection 
Foetal position

No protocol for where you fit in
No manual for grief or loss
Stay still, stand still

Drifting out 
unplanned journey 

on the sea without a map
anger and waves
loss of strength

an island
a journey's beginning.
