Say “Good Night”
How do you say “good night”?
Does it come to you in
the appearance of fireflies?
Does it fall upon you all at once,
like the sudden onset of rain?
Do you smile? Do you cut it short?
Is it goodbye or “bis Morgen” to you?
Do you whisper among the grasshoppers?
Does “good night” rise and fall,
like waves beneath the soft gaze of the moon?
Or do you keep it simple?
Do you stall and embrace?
How do you say “good night”?
