A Comfortable Bed

32 x 24

acrylic/ink on masonite

Always waiting

After the day’s trials

A relaxing place

For mental cleansing

Sometimes unkempt

Just as I left it

I like storing things

Under it

Important things

In boxes

I always forget

I watch TV

And

Snack on it

Often wiping

Crumbs off it

I read on it

Sometimes

To long

Until the words

Become fuzzy

Then

I lay down

And

Rest my

Eyes on it

At times

Those passionate times

I share Love on it

During Love most times

I’m on the edge of it

A comfortable place

Under the covers

Keeping me warm

Through nocturnal slumber

Until prisms of lemon

Kiss my windowsill
