Speak of my bedroom–

what colour are my

sheets? / Now talk

of bed bodies–do they

curve & complete?

What do you see when

you shove your head in?

Speak of my bedroom–posters on

walls–socks off the door / Speak

of my bedroom–what gender’s

involved?

Ignore my degree / My life in photos–how

I collect CDs / But speak of my bedroom–

say it beckons your brow /

Peel off my doona / Seek surprise

under sheet.

Speak of my bedroom but include

kitchen smells / Life

outside bedroom is me

all the while / You speak of my bed

& who I lie with–

but don’t just speak of my bedroom–

say every room / say every house

& speak of me like I am

more than my room
