Draught Dodger

Noel Jeffs SSF

Firewall, I miss the pleasure of warmth,

you are my door to greater horizons

and these spaces in between need trimming.

Am aghast at how long it takes to come and see

me in Covid 19.

Coldness creates lack of life, is not my bread

of heaven. Touch me finely with your lack of

lustre, search to ensure my front door

has created, firmness. Lock me in, keep out the

coldness of draughts

Cresting my life, I go hither and yon,

now treat me with a breath of fresh air, signal

to me the meaning of life, with my common area

in mind. I have cried out my breath even

in these spaces.
