painting a room

when i move
the bed to paint their room
i see
the books,
the magazines. the handcuffs
and cameras.
gloves? a riding crop,
sharp pointed shoes.
i cover it all
with a thin sheet of plastic.
then i carefully push
the nightstand
which holds the Bible
and Holy Water
towards the center.
that too gets draped
to keep the splatter of paint
from falling upon it.
