Missing Crumple

Counting pillows four, fun to make beds

Undo them, remake them

Loving crumpled bed spreads

running fingers along another's crumpled spread

just knowing it is one of the four

Then the cot's lonely

you pile up just three of everything

and you forget one head rests forever

and still pile up four

 Then you notice the missing crumple

the extra pillow, the extra spread

And you just focus the eyes of tabby doll

to ease away crumpled hearts.
