|
the bed at night is a life raft in the ocean of the dark. i hang my hands over the sides, pray to god knows what. |
|
drifting somewhere in the black air, feeling only the blanket and the weight of the mattress. the mistress of the sheets. |
|
too many successive nights of being miserable |
|
give one the sense to sense the invisible. i know you're in this room but the air is too thick. |
|
the bed at night is a life boat, a throne off which you can't be thrown. i hang my hands and feet over the sides and go into the space of what can never be known. |
