bUnk BedS & featheR pillOwS

one rocks his head,
one sways his feet,
perched high in bed,
three layers  deep.
like birds in a tree
this how they sleep.

a bunk of six
made for three.
there were only four,
then baby Pee.
the foundation was Good
as they whispered in glee.

at the center
was you, tall and slender –
such beautiful smile 
i ever knew.
