You live in the bed
You sleep in
“I dream of going back”
There was a time
To return into
The source of things
Maybe it was before death
“You only read poets who are dead”
There is no wisdom
And life decays
A red body swirling
In the midst
There is a scent
Lost in the stench of placenta
Maybe if I gurgle the bitter water
It floats above my throat
If there was only compassion to fold these sheets
It would be easy to make that bed
Tossing and turning
The chaos presented between sleep and waking
I love being around entities that perpetuate my unworthiness
And I’ve made that bed
And I’ll sleep in peace
If you let me be

Dark, seedy, sexy, honest. I love the poem!
Thanks! Really appreciate it…😃
Why do people think one doesn’t like the dark bed one made, and are forever trying to pull one from it?
Everyone of us knows what’s good for we don’t know what’s good for us
*Everyone of us knows what’s good for other people. We just don’t know what’s good for us.
Lol…I suppose that’s true.
Thanks, Mary. I really appreciate your comment. 😃

Only the dead authors are the legendary ones they set the bar for everything we read today
I agree but some of the living ones have something important to say too…sometimes.
