ASSYRIAN BED
 
beds break the bank and the sun
shines darkly over the linen
she writes it out when she's out of her head - in
               my Assyria, my bed.
 
 
THIS BED
 
has been written down against its will
 
 
SAUSSURE BED
 
this bed is not bad
& we cower under the cover
toss & turn in pajamas torn
bid no bugs nip while we nap
my snooze ceased with a sneeze
these sheets are green shoots
these pillows weeping willows
when dawn shoots to noon & sinks on down
get me to bed
 
 
THE BEDS
 
do you remember how this all started -
with the tables turning like beds?
