Breaking the Fever

I want to assemble the world's carpenters
and build a bed to cradle the Earth.
I want to gather the quilt makers
and cover us in the comfort of
a grandmother's love.
Then all heroes will be called to report
to the head of the bed,
and tuck us in,
and hold our hands,
reassuring us
we're well taken care of.
