Conbrio




A Narrow Bed
Michael David Coffey


A bed of loving
like a path
In the dark music
laden night
Together in this
space
Transfixed on
the cross of love

Narrow space
and us in prison
Confined
in our love
And no escape
except more
loving

The pain of
confinement
Born purposefully
here in the dark
Where our love
confined
Was measured
and given

A narrow bed
of restricted possibilities
Yet our love
was the greater
Confined and
intensified
In the path
of loving
No escape
And we gave -
completely
