Blurry lights above
basic bed sheets
Hush now, dear sleep tight
Let the waning moonlight
sooth a broken heart.

Blue light, moonlight
Cast shadows below
blown out streetlights

Red Robin's are a sign sent from heaven
yet a black crow cries
sing sweetly through
the night. 

Maybe a sign of death,
mistaken for the kiss of life,
black shadows cast doubts a crossed griefs misguided
Morse code, inscribed between misfired bullets.

In the final hour....
I wonder...
Did streetlights bear witness to a mind bending mishap...
...or...
Perhaps a calculated attack meant to deify ones lifetime.

Hush now..sleep tight....
Eyes shut tight
Tigger finger pressed gently...

Hush now....

Voice's patiently panicked sing a lullaby meant to pacify
fall upon ringing ears,
deafend by the gentle lapping at swaying feet.

Hush now....
Sleep tight...
