Wed, 22 April

Things found at the scene: One slatted bed rail, freshly varnished, corners still geometrically confident. One pair of pyjamas, striped, the green stripe the colour of something that should not be this vivid at this hour. One small belly, round as a proposal. Two adult faces, not quite straight. One amber cone of light, doing its best. Several soft toys, uninvolved. The sound of nothing being said.
