when i climb into bed, i think of:
The Eagle
by Lord Alfred TennysonHe clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
because i swear to you i am the very embodiment of that eagle when i occupy the solitary majesty that is my top bunk, except instead of falling i have egyptian cotton sheets. poor eagle, that he may not experience such softness.
