Beed

Beed, once
the long long trail
of things
left

beed the unpreparing bead
of sticking and
transparent caulk,
between the tub
and tile wall
of bathroom

between the you of
stone of ancient occidental origin
and water-holding thing of bath

beed
stagnant muddied liquid
and prevention
of getting to the studs
of bathroom wall

beed the waiting
for however fort
it all come in
through me,
through outside wall or
down
through broken ceiling—
water


Beed bed
one returns to after
beed dead
and bed one
stays in
