night night heartbeats
that's now
the evening twang
intertwined not with last words
but looking forward lexicon...
no slammed door exit of light switch
pillowed, dark that doesn't cover fully
or discourage hints, this
yet allows us to illuminate graciousness
to rest, not silhouette risk
even in wrist, gesture another
understanding by ear not blanketed
neither suffocated by brain,
a lullaby is why you don't feel old
nor too rebalanced
