Palm, soft unmade bed,
where sleeping stars left
wrinkles as they rose
up towards the sky.
Was this bed such
that they are rested,
clear and incandescent,
among the friendly stars
in their eternal swirl?
Oh, the two beds of my hands,
abandoned and cold,
light with the absent load
of those brazen stars.
