8/14/21

where does the night go



where does the night go 


sucked into a small black hole

like one of those old tube TVs

when the screen disappears

after turning it off


gone like a magician behind

the wave of a hand and a puff 

of play-smoke as the dazzling

assistant acts surprised


down the kitchen sink rattling

like a spoon that got stuck in

the disposal because somebody

forgot to put it off to the side


or thrown into the corner like

a sweaty pair of socks you're

just sick of walking around in

as you have been for so long
