Do I welcome the night
as wholly as the day?
Tonight, I did
By accident
Working on the plans
of daytime
It slowly passed away
Dipping into the earth
bit by lighted bit
until the horizon
hummed blue
It’s oxygen waning.
Then a breeze
danced around my ears
Followed by the quiet
of cars no longer driven
Grasshoppers trying out
their legs’ vibration
on waves of twilight…
So maybe, I did not
welcome the night
Though it certainly welcomed me
Encouraging my own
long exhale
as my waking body
embraces the dreamy night
and slips into its own
Oblivion
