[To "answer" the poetic line, "how do you [referring to God] sleep at night?" used by an
undisclosed poet...]
I first awaken the tambourines
Pour lemonade through my eyelids
Then wonker downstairs to
Daze upon my angels, free livestock-lovestock,
Who choose to roam the open perimeter of
Fencing patched with quilts and gaps
I made a muddle over month after month...
Wishing out our hallway lights I then
Ascend to the bellhouse,
Silencing our tambourines
With quick and loving amazement.
