Mattress (October)


The facts of the mattress never get laid to rest. Third of our allotted time, devoted to its silent ministrations, forgets such sea-smooth surface. They whom we picture stretched upon its highness are creatures of night in this sunstruck world. He, horizontal, feels his brain tip fear-fuelled dream-schemes that, vertical, have poured back into nothing crevices. She’s grateful for everything emptied from her mind, slipping back to front her October shockarama. You are not keeping count of time’s embraces, plead only for a place to rest your head. I recline here myself some afternoons, imagining other ways life could be.
