[?7hgoodnight
---------
she sits and stares

(ponders)
   at the cold,
midnight sky-

why?

(what's it like to die?)

  did you have to go?
she asks the night
and folds her arms
around herself-
holds herself
(it's cold)
    as a river runs down her face
  and she dreams of that other place
far away
beyond the night
beyond the light
("i'll see you soon")
and says her last goodnight
