GOD\'S SMALL BEINGS (14)

Woman
             says goodbye to her bed
gently
beginning the daily tragedy
man
             deforms body
                     tangled in linen
                                                   and yawns
                                                                        his befuddled gratitude
                                                                                                            crying out.
                                                        * * *
Between rise and fall
                              were only a few minutes.
