Strange Debris

 

there is a strange debris in my bed

help me please I cannot sleep

I try again and again to arch-up my back

and sweep out the dirt and the dust and the bits

that scratch and stick to my feet and my legs

but there is always some that stays behind

fixed to the sheet and the pit of my knees

 

there is too much skin in this bed

and I am not beautiful enough

to make that okay
