goodnight night
and the cars that cough
the many moving
and those that sleep
longer than i hope to
by sleeping now
goodnight the streetlights that sting the sky
the honeys kissing strangers
in search of a deflower
and the bees that no longer buzz
for i have received a text message
from a honey
who will stick if the night
hides shadows
goodnight good
and the dreams i had
of waking early
to the call of the woods
where the birds are perched
ready to gobble worms
that gobbled birds
gone bad
goodnight morning
you come too early
there was not much to enjoy
with the warmth of yellow too generous
the beams of fingertips too diffuse
and your eyes opening
on the horizon of your face
looking my way
then turning away
towards the familiar cover
of that good night
