In the great bleak room
there was a telephone
and a big buffoon
and a picture of a sheep
shooting up the moon
and there were three
heels of bread
asleep on the bed
and a half-plunged needle
and a flour-coated weevil
and past due tolls
and attic holes
and a storm and a funnel
and a windblown tunnel
and a bat and a shove
and the question of love
and a comb of kinked hair
and a frayed wicker chair
and the slowed steady crush
of all the elders insisting I hushhhh
Goodnight, Fog Room.
Goodnight, Gibbous Moon.
Goodnight, Heels of Bread.
Goodnight, Family Bed.
Goodnight, Needle.
Goodnight, Weevil.
Goodnight, Late Toll.
Goodnight, Roof Hole.
Goodnight, Storm Funnel.
Goodnight, Wind Tunnel.
Goodnight, Fierce Shove.
Goodnight, unLove.
Goodnight, Kinked Hair.
Goodnight, Wicker Chair.
Goodnight, Steadied Crush
And goodnight to the elders all whispering hushhhh.
Goodnight, Bat Savior.
Goodnight, Truth or dare.
Goodnight chaos everywhere.
