Where did
the night go?
one moment, it was there
by the window
talking too loud and
drinking in the soft moonlight
the next
gone without goodbye
I made inquiries but
no one has seen it all morning
maybe it lurched off
to the Ardmore for breakfast
crawled into
a ditch somewhere
crashed on someone's couch
to it sleep off
or was swept up
by the pizza vendors closing shop
I don't know
but I suspect
it is crouched
under my bed
waiting only for me
to turn out the light
to close my eyes
before it strikes.
