Cheerio, cheerio
Four AM they call to keep the awake awake
And lull the slumbering deeper adream

Clutching vapors of the musky night
Cool, humid, starry eve
Betelgeuse humming a tune

Rigel entranced by the melody
Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka belting along
While the nightbirds

While away the hours, embedded
Deep in the canopy of springtime maples
And chirp, and chirp, and chirp the expanse

Singsonging to insomniacs
******* of blue, red, orange, all grey
Parading the atomic clock onward

And every night they chirrup
Never before two o’clock- why at such a time
As the deadzone of slumbering night?

And there goes the first
Cheerio, cheerio
Good night, good morning nightbirds.

          Summerlight sunflight—
     singsonging songbirds singing,
winging blue heaven.

longing,
singsonging,
and not feeling
any belonging
no consequences
for any the wronging

not feeling belonging
always do the wrong thing
everything is song sing
tired of these long things
waiting for so long i linger
licking on my *******

always sing song but no singer
