august rushes by, remains

Goodnight moon,
Goodnight stars in the
amphitheater sky-
-Goodnight table,
round pebble,
hurricane lamp of
mosquito-bitten dinners-
Sweet dreams to you, Little
Misery, Big Misery, Manchester,
Marblehead-
-Goodnight Gloucester,
rocks and tidepools and
seagull calls-
Goodnight grass
of cartwheels and yoga-
Goodnight tree of the old buoy swing
-Goodnight lions, Goodnight you
screen door slam, honey sticky
kitchen, creaky stairs, million books,
sandy bed.

Goodnight house-Goodnight people,
Goodnight place forever in
my heart.

p.s. the word Goodnight has started to look really silly
