my bed lays a vessel,
a machine -
quirked with the finest devices,
blankets upon blankets like a lost sea
a place to check in with my thoughts
and check out with my daydreams
a place
to rest
and dream of what could be
a place
to wrap my heart around
the way things should be
my bed lays a vessel
a whimsy machine
checking out with my nightmares
checking in with my daydreams
