As on my bed, I dream indignantly

What  to wear in bed’s  a mystery.
The cat has died and will not keep me warm
Where  is my love who wrote my history?
Where the comforts which like  bees did swarm?

When  with a lover, skin is quite enough
But  now alone I feel the need for gowns
My little  skin is tender and less tough
And on my face I wear  ambiguous frowns

Still this  small problem should not worry me
As on my bed I  dream indignantly
For who will be and who is not to be?
I answer God with polite yet piercing plea

Still clothing  helps to comfort   my  dark pain
But no-one knows, as all they see is vain
