MS Night's Dream

A Lullaby?

MS Night’s Dream, a Lullaby?

Mocking and to tender, Mozart special moments,

melodious meddling, come softer to bedlings:

singing low sing so high—melding sirens to changelings

in the dark, don’t you know how to list to the light?

Let no bite nor no nightmares hexametrically

vex with me—let the night be so good as to pass!

Alexandrin the great in a lantern of shines

neither bedbugs nor nightlights to ruffle your soul

[or entice it with feverish hope] in the cycle

thru nocturnal sobriety dine on a breath

may you sleep healingly, drinking thoughts of a line...
