Good Night by Nikki Giovanni

Remember that little book of poetry that I absolutely love?

Well, here is another wonderful poem from that book...

"Good Night"

by 

           Nikki Giovanni             

It is late

I stand

In front of your desk

Saying something inane

You fiddle with papers

Not looking at anything

Works is over yet

We stay 

I smile

You are, after all, very cute

We leave the building 

Casually

Like it doesn't matter

There is a beautiful moon 

We say Good Night

I unhurriedly stroll to my car 

Humming some 1950s love song

I speed-limit home

to

Walk my dog

Give fresh water to the birdbaths

Eat my dinner

Choose my clothes for tomorrow

Set the timer

Slide between my bamboo sheets

And dream

Of you 

Nikki has a way with words.....

Try this awesome little book!
