Galley
Took it with me to a space station-themed coffeeshop
The lights are dim in the escape pod
Perhaps to hope requires some dulling
Took it with me to the Rose Reading Room
Past four security checkpoints
Tourists taking photos of a field of bowed heads
Took it with me to the Strand
Inserted a finger into the space where it would go
On the shelves, between two books, under C
The protection of other books felt good
Couldn't help thinking these books are Stranded
Sat at home with it and grinned and winced
Had my cat bless it when I got galley cold feet
Soon the days will be colder and when I get home
from outside I will warm my hands on her
