my modern dome with the bald patch top
           upper left side like a raw peach
anyways, I have been wherever,
             and where I may have laid this head
or took time to partake of rest,
                and the local cuisine and had
a fair dame smile back,
               I did lay my head most times
on the pillow with that
            now raw bereft part of my head
on her pillow, or a patch of pine leaves,
           the dream people say
on the left side, if you
            lie
is the side to make dreams real,
           so I always did.
Now I sleep on my stomach.
           So far it has done
no good.
