  2. At least we find a place to rest and to leave. The juxtaposition of a large bed and a short time to live is brilliant. Well done, John.

  3. There is a deep meaning here and I simply love this piece. The contrast between the two, as noted, is, as Ralf said, "Well done."

  4. most live ins at the Hospice here in TT are elderly folk who seem to shrivle as they grow older; the large bed in your poem is a strake contrast to our smallness in the scheme of life
