60. Description Of My First Bed In Ten Years, Upon My Retirement From Desire

got a migraine headache from the stress of it,
i lay on the carpet in the loungeroom with the
blinds drawn, this was my final stand, an
unconscious protest, one where i was unable
to pick myself off the ground, head towards
that bed & get into it, i thought that i would
never make it, i could hear trevor putting it
together in the bedroom through my pain, but
it had become all too much for me, as we had
left the big bed warehouse, i had collapsed,
as he rushed me to the car, people had
stared, we looked like a couple of drug
addicts, the migraine became so intense that i
forgot everything about the bed & could only
concentrate on pain, living inside this
hammering, sickening darkness, finally the
doctor was rung, he came & gave me a shot
of pethadine, the bed was just a standard
brass one from forty winks, but it was like a
sun too bright on a horizon, upon my
retirement from desire, i was scared to look
behind myself, knowing that after all these
years, i had made it, it was so far off the
floor, that i couldn't sleep for awhile, i felt
like i was the princess that could detect a pea
beneath twenty mattress's, i was looking
down into my room like i was too far above
it, i thought i had been happy sleeping on the
floor for ten years, now i felt insecure, for
many nights i dreamt that i was scrambling
along these huge nets that hung in the sky,
with thousands of feet drops below, but
sooner than i had expected i grew into the
sleepy sheets of my new brass bed, that trevor
won for me off a sleazy solicitor & i slept like
a child, my face growing young by the morning
