Between Two Lit Rooms
Michael Laskey
After work, of ronce, to walk homenot to drive, foot hinged to the clutch,through town, but to walk on your ownout into the open dark,
the Plough, the Pole Star, Oriondistancing you from your day.Then down the ringing wrought-ironspiral staircase to the softer
asphalt of the all but emptycar park. One January night.Such space around you, such plenty:a good fifteen minutes walking
between two lit rooms, the split halvesof your life, the future, the past.But for now a skive down this path,the ridge of the fence furred with frost.

Tillfälligt slut
Between Ourselves is a brilliantly crafted collection of warm and eloquent poems that are at once a love letter to the future, and a contemplation of the past. The central section, 'Selfies' – an honest and discerning sequence of self-portraits reflecting on 'what a long way we've come' – sits alongside the title poem, an intimate conversation with a grandchild just learning to walk.
