Three-in-the-morning questions



does a butterfly ever want to return to the safety of the cocoon?

are the moths knocking on the window really looking for the moon?

why do cold-night stars look like you could get a fingernail under them and pick them off the sky like a cat-thief, while on warmer nights they are a firmly secured window display at a jeweller?

what is that noise in the background, under the lonely moon, when all sleeps - a sound like frozen grasshoppers, like celestial white-noise, like a high-pitched respirator?

'surrender to the sky your heart of anger' - why is the night sky more receptive, less likely to spit anger back in your face?

will the sickle moon ever slash open the sky?

when the moon falls from the sky will it be full, or new?

does the snore of a sleeping husband create a tornado far from here?

why did I have coffee after nightfall?
