Good night

See,

Look.

Out in the distance.

Smoke behind the mountain

Can you see it?

Trying to signal the way 

Where a fire lies,

Sleeping no longer,

Waken up 

By a movement of a hand

Burning goodnight.

Let it burn and bathe in it while the taste of ash fills you until you can finally see and say,

Sleeping no longer

Waken up

By a hand moving

So gentle, so

Unapologetic, so 

Soft,

Such a delight.

We can forget

We learn forgiveness

Finally cleansed

Washed away by the flames

That is

Us,

Good night
