Bedtime at Night

The cock crow
Breaks the day
It is the sound
That fades stars away
Lovers leap
From dream-etched sleep
As dawn unfurls
Soft and sibylline

It's the sun's first light
It's a spell
It does mesmerize
Before the day's cover
Is torn asunder
And you realize
The continuum of whispers
Floating in sea of instances
We all do fade as a leaf

And then it's
Bedtime at night
A faun for a pillow
Tiger burning bright
Swing from the willow
It's bedtime at night
Candles concupiscent
You know I can't sleep 'neath this
Mécanique céleste

So lie down in the creek bed
And become the watershed
We all do fade as a leaf

Quilling for the hell of it
Smashing for the joy of it
Running when the fuse is lit
Laughing from the stomach
Sweating with cicadas drone
Feasting on your lover's bone
Sleeping 'neath magnolias scent
Grandiloquent for good measurement

Crazy because the sun comes up and goes down again
Unburdened beloved delirium
In love because the moon comes up and goes down again
Unburdened beloved delirium
