Bicycles
by Nikki Giovanni
Midnight poems are bicycles Taking us on safer journeys
Than jets
Quicker journeys
Than walking
But never as beautiful
A journey
As my back
Touching you under the quilt
Midnight poems
Sing a sweet song
Saying everything
Is all right
Everything
Is
Here for us
I reach out
To catch the laughter
The dog thinks
I need a kiss
Bicycles move
With the flow
Of the earth
Like a cloud
So quiet
In the October sky
Like licking ice cream from a cone
Like knowing you
Will always
Be there
All day long I wait
For the sunset
The first star
The moon rise
I move to a midnight
Poem called
You propping
Against
The dangers
I love this.
