A bed to house time

IN

A rule by which to

flow

pretend to sleep,

pretend a dream,

      a vacancy,           a place
to                           put                  belief

   Lay your head

down

and dream

up

  at your

realization

You left yourself in a thousand other places and now you’re here

a space marked out—         for you

to appear

and vanish from

vanish                                                         from
