Hospital corners

Mindful, yet timeless
The ocean and stars
Wash my sheets clean
Unkempt,
but for reasons fallen small.
Pristine,
They radiate pale moonlight.
The shape of them still tell
Of a sensual moment evident
But with fading memory found.
I stand, wondering
This imprint, this fossil -
Does memory derive relevance,
Or are my sheets in need of tucking?
