Ponderings on having a bed to myself once more

[lingering_words]

Is it beauty?
the dieing ways. 
the manner in which we curl up.
recluse within ourselves.
wrap against the world.
tangled in bed sheets.
in the love.
in the funk.
in the glory.
of knowing that:
nothing can touch us.
if we stay right here.
cocooned against. 
sickness.
health.
til death do us part.

...

til our bare feet touch.
the cold floor.
we turn our backs.
upon the love.
upon the funk.
upon the glory.
knowing that:
if we move.
we are exposed.
untangle from the bed sheets.
open to the world.
emerge to ourselves.
the manner in which we unfold.
the dieing ways.
the beauty.
