I will slip in under your radar
to a room bathed blue in TV-light
where pictures haunt and flicker
empty, and the sound turned quiet
edges of my teeth touch, catch
weak magnet unsticks
clings
I will slip in like the noise
of soft rain wakes you up
next morning wonder
how a bright wall
gets impossible to see
in slabs of summer sun
when shadeblooms shock the eyes
I will slip in, I will slip in to your pocket
finger me like a half-forgotten coin
smooth from use, warm
savouring the many chances and
ways to spend

Love this!
Thanks 🙂
My pleasure!!
Lovely Claire!
Thanks Sam!
I love how this flows. The sentences overlapping and running into each other feel like 4am meanderings.
This was a night-time poem, indeed. 🙂
