Koelle Bodhi (c)1985
OF BEDS TO LIE IN: A LIMITED HERSTORY
I. 1983
I'm the only one
sleeps in my bed
I wrestle my son
I pitch to his bat
bring in the bread
and sit at the head
of my own table.
II.
Leaden with the baby's weight
and in route to the birthing room
I stood naked at the dresser
and you said as you looked
at the magnitude; the burning
stretch of my hard belly,
more taut than a new canvas--
"God, I really feel SORRY for YOU!"
III. 1963
Dan and I hid under the covers at midday
with a swiped book entitled: DECAMERON.
Burkburnett, Texas was already too hot
and my cheeks/body burned in the rush
to keep up with his speedreading pace
and capture my share of the sexually
provocative before we got caught. Our
parents were relieved to find us reading.
