Pop

Lying back in a warmly scented bath,

I’m feeling for something – call it sound

out there - around - not completely heard.


There – a hum of central heating,

traffic vroom, pop music,

a human voice, muted, dark:


outside - a strimmer zips,

downstairs sons knocking


and, here, a soapy

heap of bubbles


popping

popping


tension,

in me.
