Bed en the Barrio (Poem) - Introduction
Bed en the Barrio
There is a bed en el barrio that lie empty tonight
All because I was out living my life
Dancing and singing at the top of my lungs
Surrounded by the ones that I love
There’s a bed in the barrio that is full and rowdy
All because of a slumber party
Gossip and giggles
Grown friends still together, acting little
Ay’esta un cama in the valley
Memories unsullied
A siempre reconocer every finale
Every laugh, every triste, never dallied
The bed in the valley
Sabe todo secretos
Knows all your deseos
Your fears, and tears held in the pillows
In a bed en el barrio
A matriarch takes her last breath
As a granddaughter faces her own brush with Death
Pero la cama sabe, it’s not the end
There is a bed en the barrio; empty
Cause you decided beside me
Is the exact place
You’re meant to be
There is a bed en the barrio that lie empty tonight
Cuz I decided to leg go of the turmoil and strife
Using my words the best way I know how
Connecting Root to Sacral, to Solar Plexus, to Heart, to Throat, to the Third Eye, and the Crown
To say this was a long-time-coming would be a major understatement. Friends, family, therapists; all discussing it for years, urging the start. However, it's like everything was stuck. Somehow, I knew it wouldn't be coming until after my grandma's passing. Actually, I even started writing this poem last year when she was admitted into assisted care. I just couldn't finish it or decide where I'd want to post it.
I'd like to think the hardest part about everything was figuring out a format that fits me. MySpace, Tumblr, Vampire Freaks, YouTube. Instagram.. TikTok... OnlyFans...!? I'm out of breath just writing it and was almost out of ideas. The biggest problem? I owned none of these sites and had to play by their rules. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. *checks how many people are following me*
Curating social media for over 10 years wore me out. Finally the COVID lockdowns rolled out with automation, beginning of major restrictions and no human help all hit at once. I lost my business Instagram because there was no one to approve ownership of content and I also lost my personal Facebook that I had used pretty much as cloud storage. That one hurt. Photos and messages from friends and families passed... I was heartbroken.
I knew I needed to own the real estate I was working on. I've owned these domain names for years. Just had them tied to google sites I used as my own "LinkTrees." *shrug* Just waiting for the time the ideas develop enough to walk on their own, I guess. They say "you're never going to be 'ready,' so might as well start," but sometimes, writer's block strikes and you end up stuck. Your ideas never getting passed a flowering stage. My artistic land was in a dust bowl.
What a lot of people don't know about barren dirt is; the crops that don't make it only further fertilize the soil. Years of various seeds that sprouted and never fruited, getting stronger each time a growing season passed by. Unfortunately, my well seems to be blocked up. Like an infestation of frogs if you will-- Or-- Well... My Gammy's passing definitely poked a hole, and this is definitely the beginning of the wild cathartic levee release.
In the world, there is a LOT going on right now. Everybody's going through it and honestly, we all need our own ways to outlet our emotions. This year I've found myself diagnosed with unexpected health issues and am trying to come to terms with that as well as hold space for the passing of my Grandma and one of my very loved cousins. I know I'm not alone, but I also know my tribe is a little shy. So here I am, turning back to the strongest way I know to safely express myself - Creation. I'm really excited to contiue to watch you all do the same.

Hey Buddies! I'm Day
Founder Of Bed en the Barrio
As the creator of Bed en the Barrio, I've walked the winding path between spiritual awakening and sensual exploration. My journey, so far, has taught me that our deepest healing often happens between the sheets -
whether we're rolling a blunt,
rolling in passion,
or simply rolling through our rawest emotions.
This space is where I share those confessions, offering you permission to explore your own sacred truths with playfulness and zero judgment
