the cold addles my brain

sink full of dishes
spider under my bed
socks split like brothers at a fair
but with no happy reunion in the end

the sirens call of hob nobs
late light and early dark
yellow stripes and pink polka dots
the spider's got my socks

Nice! And congratulations on the The Aldgate Fast being published. That was very nicely written indeed.

Hmm... I thought you'd disabled comments - until I highlighted the post title and de-lurked the text! :)

Addled mine too. Just want to stay in bed and not get out. And what's with the spiders-they're everywhere!
