niche

i have had fantasy imaginings of this bed
at least since i saw jefferson in paris
i've been looking for a picture
and i must have altered it in my head
the only jeffersonian alcove bed i can find
is all square
nice
but
not my fantasy

my fantasy bed is a curved arch
tall enough to sit up
but not any taller

part of the point
is to be
closed in
like the ceiling is the roof of a little den
or cave
or nest
what-have-you
then the sides are open
into two different rooms maybe

actually
in the fantasy
the bed is maybe built in to the arch

i could see us
tucked into our little niche
cozy
