a bedroom facing west

i always choose the bedroom that faces west
not for its late afternoon light
though it does seduce me with sleepy warmth
but because the sheets, 
the color of butter, 
do not change with the year's style
the heavy dresser always stands
at the end of the bed
too big for the space
and i still find my papou's red night shirt 
tucked into the bedside table
in this bedroom facing west

it is getting colder
