Oreo Nights
August 30, 2021
The universe is an Oreo cookie,
We are the cream.
Sweet and mysterious
We slide and glide
Through our days.
Sometimes the night
Is a hot wet boot
We’re all stuck inside.
Sometimes the night is
A strainer
Our soul gets sifted through.
The night is a tree,
We are the baby bird.
The night is
Going round and round with stars
So fine we miss the music
We don’t dare to sing ourselves.
The night is a boat,
The night is an empty beehive,
The night is too sweet to sleep.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. —Rachel Carson
