Furniture

--
Of shipwreck and stranded souls
desiring rescue on distant shoals...
---
Thick with
homicidal natives,
painting pianos,
straight-backed chairs,
and hands that gesture
but never touch...
                our space was found.
----
This bed a gentler shore
bodies bank upon
with no desire for rescue.

Do you ever leave the blissful bedding to chat anymore?

Souls a plenty.

Stranded souls, lost people.. wishing to find something or someplace or to be found.

Perhaps when someone is lost, they look for what's missing in another. A reflection -- not of what's there, but what's missing.
