a long night up ahead

is there a kinder
thing
in the house than the bed.
whether made
or not,
how it waits for you at days end.
always willing
and ready
to embrace your tired body.
the smoothness
of sheets, the softness of pillows.
a blanket to pull up
for warmth.
come to me,
it says and lay down your
burden.
dream if you want.
stay put, it's a long
night up ahead.
