(mostly) short poems on life and love

Bedtime

April 2, 2021 by Michael Guerin

Through the screen door
night creeps in silky smooth
and sweet.

Somewhere in the distance
an owl cries “who”
while cicadas sing their reply.

Lately cool breezes
only ever arrive
long after the streetlight

at the end of the driveway
flicks on, its sensor
somehow sensing just
the right time
for light.
