well wishing
(tossing coins)
I hope it is a good night
for you
if a dark night of the soul
a time with turmoil from confusion
or from fear
or from confusion’s fear
more hopefully
or maybe a time of easy rest through
the dark that could go
peacefully
to dawn
or whatever hour
serves
for rising as a new day
for you
however night goes
God is with you
with you
anyway
if
to think on our own failing
actions fixable
(they
are)
and sometimes lovable
from
endearing flaws
we are these wonderful mixtures
after all
are
we not
oh
and if working third shift
then I hope it’s
good rest for you by day
to have the hours
as
impulsive night
and night for all
its goodness
and its call to rest
to you

when I searched “sleep” and “night” and such for images, the searches came back with so many photos of cats—more than people, more than dogs—which says something about us, I imagine

good night, irene
(weave away)

i don’t know who
irene is
maybe she
spends time
with missus calabash
or to whomever
carol tugs her ear
(maybe
we know)

we’re running
a little late
he says each time
on radio
how does he not know?
why doesn’t the network
correct him if
he’s always late?

because
saying goodbye
is hard to do
creative
and all these people tried
x
they credit us
with understanding
and a reminder that
some things
even everyday
are new
x
or not
say goodbye however you mean it
there is no cliché
nothing trite
in the next heartbeat
or the word
that comes from there

good night, irene
(lead belly
it’s okay to laugh
i think he must
from time
to time)
let’s see you on the flip side
side b
where it’s wonderful
you hear it
when the artists say
they sing
(in side b songs)
hello
