new short poem

Altar
I can see my breath.
No windows.
Everything not moving
is painted white. Here,
in your mother's basement,
I lie back on the bed
tucked under silver ducts,
offering the whole mottled
bag of me on these
delicately stained sheets,
bleached and bleached.

Does it make sense, or have I left too much out?
