The double bed
neatly made corners and a brass headrest
stronger to unite man and woman than a ring
Sleep
from birth a rest of observations, knowledge
awareness
wrapped in tenderness
the single bed
a hostel room
a hotel room
a respite from interaction
a place to take comfort in being
alone
Why can a single bed not have even more meaning
separation but no less affection
no discussion, no need
independent dreams
for some
the necessary break at the end of a day
a squaring off, a safe place
an artist's place with a yellow blanket
why can this single bed be so frowned out
so feared?
