ripped
raze this fitted_sheet
was harvested from
the nile delta soil
before binding a bed
built for a queen.

what began as a small
split in the sinew
of its unsmiling face
is now an aperture
through which no
light will pass.

with each move
i make, it expands
and grows more
ragged, butchered
by the burden
of my body.

someday soon
i'll slide
my whole head
through this
slit and wear
what i struggle
to sleep on
as a cape.
