Waking up beside a mistake
one has little choice but to make the bed
tear off the sheets and start fresh —
hospital-corner fresh —
pillows creased with a firm hand
or
with a broad arc and breath
reset the sheets askew, awry
as if that was the intention all along
messy, made, come what may
God bless askew and awry. This is wonderful on many levels, Jen. Thank you.
