Ode to My Pillow

Light shines in

And I know I must leave you

Slumped and flumped

My head has cleaved you



Into



A dimpled mess

My buckwheat friend

I tell RD

"It Just Doesn't End"



Then



Showering begins

Food for Cats

On the train

To work with brats

and yuppies

Guppies of Trash

Their cuisinarts

Will never last



How I long for you

My buckwheat friend

I'll cleave your linen

Once again



Nighttime comes

Alarm is set

Kashi awaits

Her nose is wet

And Dexter's tail will swish at me

But not too close

Since he can see

My pillow there

awaits sleep's sea

Will I fall fast?

Or slow again



It's worth the wait

My buckwheat friend

Little and crunchy

so funny you are



Under my head

Dreaming travel

A Star
