in someone elses i awoke, late one evening. memory door remained locked, no key. white becomes blue room, clear firmament. had slept by sunset sky : filtering through curtains ajar, awakened by purple moon. rising, clouds d r i f t e d, memory was an inflating balloon, fogged light, yellow ray dancing on my pin iris. my hands were stained ochre, my stomach an acidic pit. i raised my heavy head from a grey pillow, and left a damp imprint. neurosis as a ringing glass rim echo. my eyes wide awake, my mind surprised. i saw breathing sheets undulating like a gentle sea. i found spirit dregs in the back of my mouth, my company incompatible with my memory, the nausea a wailing baby. the wake-up call: i lied that night, i had vapour-lust. now i lay beside a woman. implosive guilt within me unravelled and discarded like a droplet by her blue bell face.

hi Diana The poem is open to interpretation of course. In general it is about the contradiction of feelings associated with a one night stand.
