Adelaide

I'm home again
Slouching, content
With a dark ale
And a bright pen
In the cosy light of the Exeter
Loose ends don't need tying
Now that all is calm
What a surprise
To feel no longer frantic
What a sweet relief
To have no use for panic
What balm for the soul
To squiggle away small worries
With a bright pen
In the half dark
Of my hometown
