It took a bit of building but it’s beautiful to see
my new duck-egg blue shoe shelf storage unit,
which only on the fourth attempt made it to me.
And the difference that she makes to my bedroom,
creating space and order, gone the heaps of clothes,
which before her advent were everywhere festooned.
Now my night-time furniture runs in cheerful rows,
but I’ll have to keep it tidy to earn my sweet repose.
