Good night, round earth, as your round face
Revolves around the sun, your mother,
Half lit, half spent, and
Rotates in so much empty space!
Good night, amazing earth
Of crowded flesh, flowering smiles,
Silenced cries, and
Of so much myth and so less mirth!
Good night, your bluish earthness!
Take your sunlit laughter
To where it is missed, as
I welcome your good darkness…
