for somebody
A bed at the end of the world
when things are out of place
A bed at the end of the world
when feelings overflow our hearts
A bed at the end of the world
and our thoughts can’t stop
A bed at the end of the world
with clean sheets/soft textures
A bed at the end of the world
for tired/broken/sick bodies
A bed at the end of the world
when there is no energy
A bed at the end of the world
for the lovely ones
A bed at the end of the world
for the storm, the hurricane, the weapons of mass destruction
A bed at the end of the world
for the dog, the cat, the sparrow, the elephant
A bed at the end of the world
for the book, the guitar, the song, the fan
A bed at the end of the world
for the rubbing of the feet
A bed at the end of the world
for the eyes to close
A bed at the end of the world
as the l-on(e)ly company
A bed at the end of the world
a comfort, a nuclear bomb shelter
A bed at the end of the world
as the hope to arrive/for the arrivant
A bed at the end of the world
to wait
A bed at the end of the world
to play, to jump, to fill with kids
A bed at the end of the world
to eat each other, for the waste of our bodies
A bed at the end of the world
for the many positions of sex
A bed at the end of the world
to get some rest
A bed at the end of the world
even to sleep
A bed at the end of the world
to dream
A bed at the end of the world
as a reminder
A bed at the end of the world
as if we were laying in the palms of God’s hand
