Ode to the Bed



Steel Frame
I lean my heavy head upon
Softest feathers between
You hold me up
Yet let me rest
I call you my King
Wrapped in warmth
I hear the silence
Breathing
Understanding comfort
I release the floods
You dry the rain
Soaking moonlight
Through polished sand
You form my dreams
I drift and float
In a dark deep ocean
You greet me at the harbor
In a swirl
of sheets
