Matted Leaves

This morning I made my bed.  I tucked in the corners, presuming to smooth out the rumpled chaos.

Out and about, seeing I had clearly made a mess of everything, I thought of my well-made bed.

I still make my bed! And I bet you do, too.

Had I the courage I would make a new bed beneath a primeval forest canopy.  I would keep vigil until first light, when the morning wind would rustle the matted leaves, indented the night before by my unremarkable life, and whirl them away.
