Elm, Oak and Holly
The Dormitories
Elm, Oak and Holly, up under the eaves. Elm's blankets are pale green.
Three dormitories under the eaves, one to each house: Elm, Oak and Holly. Elm's blankets are pale green. The first night in a new bed is the hardest night of the year, and the second morning is worse than the first, and then, quite suddenly and without anyone noticing when, it becomes the place you mean when you say home.
