Edge Of Night

Almost asleep up later than normal 

what is normal living and doing during

the day sleeping at night so it’s close

but I can’t help feeling the cutting 

as time passes that maybe I won’t 

wake up tomorrow I remember people

I worked with that died and I always 

took their passing personally maybe 

I didn’t know them very well but better

than I thought because I do remember 

them even now and that they died which

is like going over the edge into night 

where we’ve spent much of eternity

already

so

if there is basic goodness of existence 

would you say nonexistence is also good

I would life and death meaning continuity 

even the monsters that kill people recycle

eventually no Utopia can be seen in the light.
