The wood and it's ashes Suspended into the atmosphere Embraced the fog and the curled up cat Who purred And drifted into her dream While the old watchman Watched the fire go out Reflecting upon his bifocals. Drunken boys Walked with a drunken walk Into their houses Also Drifted off to sleep Wishing they woke up To lust and money That came from nowhere. The homeless Slipped into their rags and papers Wanting to wake up To, oh well,just another day With promised food. While rats re-scavenged On the scavanged morsels The women sang songs Of elves to their newly born Who understood none Yet slipped into a world Of ambiguity Till the dawn The day slept Within the blanket of darkness And a moon Full of cheese and a rabbit within Made of a whole bunch of craters That soaked up Hunger,thirst,failure and fatigue Of the day Love Falling in and out of people And tears That only fell out Whispered into the ears of tomorrow To be better To be less deceitful.

The Goodnight Poem
The wood and it's ashes Suspended into the atmosphere Embraced the fog and the curled up cat Who purred And drifted into her dream While the old watchman Watched the fire go out Reflecting upon his bifocals. Drunken boys Walked with a drunken walk Into their houses Also Drifted off to sleep Wishing they woke up To lust and money That came from nowhere. The homeless Slipped into their rags and papers Wanting to wake up To, oh well,just another day With promised food. While rats re-scavenged On the scavanged morsels The women sang songs Of elves to their newly born Who understood none Yet slipped into a world Of ambiguity Till the dawn The day slept Within the blanket of darkness And a moon Full of cheese and a rabbit within Made of a whole bunch of craters That soaked up Hunger,thirst,failure and fatigue Of the day Love Falling in and out of people And tears That only fell out Whispered into the ears of tomorrow To be better To be less deceitful.
