inconsequential life cycles

a relationship shared of love and disinterest
convenient flame
platonic tool to hug and squeeze
at night or during day when I fall asleep
lump of foam or feathers
humped in cotton soft dome
purveyor of fine dreams
assorted nightmares sleepless ceiling scenes
tucked between knees
cradling my head
the moon pulls waves in for a kiss
springs creak under restless weight
a nomadic lurch to find cool spots
flesh of fabric close to your heart
comforting mound
in a passionless grip of needy love
demanding succor, it gives plenty
limp doll of rag life
thrown atop a mattress
uncared for when I awake
dutifully wedged between two worlds
of night and light
beloved, forgotten- repeatedly
