The bed is occupied by a lake.
The lake is a missing person.
Who is the missing person?
The missing person is the bed’s mouth.
The head of the missing person is the bed’s nose.
The bed’s eyes are the bedposts.
The bed’s cap is the satin pillow, red like that.
The bed’s mouth is open.
The bed’s open mouth is a lake.
The lake in the bed is what the bed has tried to say.
It hasn’t worked.
The bed has not said the missing person’s name.
The nose of the bed is a hole.
The hole in the bed is the missing person’s head.
The lake in the hole where the head is a nose is cold, cold, cold.
It is a cold shape with shoulders.

There is some ship or waving vagueness sinking in the lake.
