Mid- Night Nonsense
It’s good to start from nowhere
In particular,
Let it grow,
Intuition’s urging knowing.
The trick is to keep going –
That’s the hard part.
4 a.m. husband asleep,
And like a twelve year old, I creep
Under the quilt.
With minor guilt, pad, pen in hand,
Keyring flashlight, writing,
Fighting hard to stay awake
For art’s sake.
There’s no other explanation,
So amusing is the situation.
There will be continuation –
Or, as Arnold coined,
“I’ll be back”… joined to you
Post breakfast, and as promised.
Not just brain but body too,
Then we’ll see if this needs closure
On exposure to the light.
As for now, goodnight, goodnight!
