Rose has settled.
No doubt she will change her mind,
or at least her posture,
and move to the middle of the bed, by dawn.
We share what once was my slice
of the right hand portion,
which allowed for easy access
and room to maneuver.
It is not pleasant, in fact it’s a pain,
Coming back from a two o’clock pee
To find you no longer have first dibs
On the spot you recently vacated.
A hard, hard choice confronts me.
Push Rose to center, or balance on the edge of the bed.
You’d think a grown man could handle this.
Well, surely not for the first time, you’re wrong.
