The moment that we fell asleep
The angels started to sing
As the demons continued to screech
And although I cannot keep up with their beat

I will do my best to silence the night
And fall deep under the sheets

And the entire time that you've been sleeping
There outside the coyotes they are a screaming
And your wondering eyes have begun to stream
Through the pillars of white light on your blank screen

And the black bars flow out
Through measures and notes
And I instantly choke on a cloud
There at the end of the poem

The dark moments rerun
The lips in front of your tongue
And they will play your favorite song
As you inhale the gray love from this red ****

I will hold you deep within my lungs
And exhale you out only when the night is done.
