naked mattress
the naked mattress seemed more abandoned
than on nights gone by
when european percale sheets
lifted like a kite from the corners
as though they had somewhere to go
and struggled passionately to get there.
the sagging mattress appeared cold—
now that she looked at it
from the way he had

song of the mattress
song of the mattress
she slept, wrinkled and small
on satin sheets, a band-aide covering her mattress,
knees tucked tightly beneath her chin
and legs pressed against her breasts
as if waiting for a gigantic splash when she hit the water
motionless, she dreamed of burgundy and peaches from georgia
and hoped to drive

No Mattress Big Stress
Death Sentence far who has no mattress.
Don’t expect her to laugh: your mistress.
Thanks to mattress for solved stress
And for solved stress Lord God I bless!
Once we lie on arranged mattress
Our bodies against its foam press;
With it a straight contact without dress;
With no mattress night battles with stress
But surely one needs fine

Cloudy Thoughts
If I could climb on top of a cloud
I’d have the world’s coziest mattress
A cumulus quilt that’s softer than down
And beneath it, a silk sheet of stratus
A nimbus puff to pillow my head
With matching lenticular duvet
And perhaps I’d get an extra set
In sunset pink and stormy gray
Some say I must surely be insane
For I’d be

Mattress Roses
Mattress and roses
A great day in Cascais, sunlit and soberly warm.
We have bought a rose-coloured mattrass
easy to install, the old one was heavily loaded by
memories of a time of a healthy life.
I was thinking of getting a canary bird let it fly
inside, let out wild birds will kill the canary
Resolved angry dispute sealed with love
objectified

Sleeps Not the Mattress
SLEEP’S NOT THE MATTRESS
Sleep’s not the mattress, hard or soft.
It’s Spring with a rose sheet.
Expels her breath - a peaceful waft.
Copper eyes and smile’s sweet.
The curtain’s drawn - it’s dark.
What lovely dreams - they’re stark.
This queen, she made her mark.
In pale of darkness—
sleep’s not the mattress.

Old Stained Mattress
Old stained mattress
in a ditch looking forlorn
cast aside without a second thought
Old stained mattress
blown off a truck by a strong wind
or placed here by two men lugging?
Old stained mattress
shabby and streaked
I pass her daily
Wondering if she has feelings
Making up stories about her
Thinking about her first day off the showroom floor
Poor old stained mattress
Poor

Cardboard Mattress
I bet your beds comfy,
I imagine it smells of flowers and vanilla,
Or just the smell of clean,
And you have pillows,
Big soft voluptuous pillows,
And sheets,
Clean sheets.
I could sleep forever in a bed like that,
Literally forever,
And I bet you don’t even think about it,
Because it’s just a bed to you,
And it is,
Id probably cry if I could

New Purple Mattress
Falling asleep in a Lazy Boy recliner with the TV on all night
can't sleep in the bed cause I think we are in a fight
Not sure what I did and being sorry is not enough
forgot to read the fine print in this relationship stuff
Baby, I'm sorry you are right and I am wrong
please forgive me,

The Mattress
I remember the mattress,
where you saw me asleep
for the first time, where we held
our breaths as friends passed my
door, keeping our love a secret garden.
I remember the mattress,
where we lay lazily in heat, skipping work
and the outside - waiting, wanting,
to have and to hold a place just our own.
I remember the

Mattress
Can I be your mattress
On your lovely bed
I come in varying sizes
From single To Californian King
With a choice of different fillings
For you to take your pick
When you’re feeling racy
I’m a dizzy mess
When you’re feeling sexy
I’ll add a little spring
Felling more rampant
You’ll enjoy a good jump
Fancy a slap and tickle
You could sailor in to a seaman
On

Mattress You Sleep On
Mattress you sleep on
is your shallow grave
you lie there for siesta
at night when you sleep
unknowingly you rehearsal
how to die the coming times
you travel to heaven daily
and hell you visit its shores
then back to your mattress
what a friendly grave it is!

Travelling By Mattress Is Cheaper and Quicker
Branches of beans wave most predominantly in stormy weather but heavily prevalent are the many climbing chimps whose antics please the spotted cloud and cause a clap in the sky. But half a cup of mildew in a snow covered dome is neither a doorstep nor is it a milked out heifer in a four

Pool Table Felt On the Bloodstained Mattress
Pool Table Felt on the Bloodstained Mattress
A quiet giggle
It’s not my stomach growling, “feed me.”
A young girl who wouldn’t love a millionaire
A stereo left on overnight
Warmed motor that melts a plastic beer cup
Teeth brushed a thousand times
A smile passed the darkness when we went to bed
What do you think about when we try to go

An Ad For the Perfect Waterproof Mattress Protector
The modern mattress
is what makes possible
modern sleep;
soft so I
model myself in it
like I'm to become
a plaster cast.
What's wrong? she asks
there's something bothering you.
The modern mattress
can hide the mite
that eats my skin
slough, lives small
excretes itch and sneezes.
Just anomie, I answer
nearness to old age,
a reminder of waste.
I will
sheath the
