Bed Unmade
A Poem by Lepadah
 
A terrain 
Wrinkled 
Creased 
Wriggled by fidgety feet 
Bunched cotton 
Folded layers of organic 
Damask or Dupioni 
Woven threads from Dubai 
One more luxurious than the other 
Are simply left unmade 
Faint imprints 
Hidden scents caught in the fabric 
Nights filled with propositions 
Possibilities 
Expected and unexpected struggles 
The unmade is the unknown 
A mess more perfect then army made 
To hold a memory perhaps 
Or a planned return 
How interesting a photograph 
Matte 
Framed 
Hung for interpretation of the unmade
