~*this bed*~
I want to catch your shadow
with my open sparrow mouth
and kiss the memory
of you
in this bed
this bed~
that once held you
held us
in our desperate embrace
this bed never leaked
our passion
this bed never squeaked
or threw us out
instead
it absorbed
our
trembling whispers
as carefully
as lovingly
as I absorbed your
liquid desire
this bed
that held onto us
this bed
will survive us both
this bed
outlived
outloved
outlasted
the fire
~this bed~
now i perspire
~the memory~
of this bed
I want to kiss
this bed
I miss this bed
when I die
lie me here
in this bed~
where I died a thousand times
before
where I saw stars
and danced
and stretched
and writhed
and sang
and swore
and called out
to a god
oh yes...
this bed
where
I disappeared
inside my head
in this bed
where our children
were sculpted
here, where
they first slept,
in this bed~
where we feasted
yes oh yes
all this and more
happened
in this magnificently
simple
bed
of
hardwood
and
cool
Egyptian cotton
do you remember
how you held court,and
undressed the fantasy of me?
there were circuses
and courteseans
hungry little boys
and babies
I fed of my body
in this bed
you are long gone
I saw your body leave
the shelter
of this bed
"dead"
they said
and now...
what will become
of this worn bed?
leave me here
alone
to die
in this~
our
wedded bed~
betrothed to the smooth
nuptial wood
let me die
the widow of pine
and flesh
and haunted memories
lay me out
let me rest
~in this bed~
gather the children
gather the ghosts
at the foot of this bed
watch me slumber
in this bed
for
I never truly rested in this bed
and I grow tired
weary
let me lie
in this bed
my head soft
upon this bed
close my eyes
let me DIE
in this bed
my bed
~sigh~
our bed
good night my love
shhhhhhhhh
it's time for bed
time to sleep
no time to weep
sleep
sleep
sleep
here
in
this
bed
our wedded bed
forever~
old starlight - new starbright
