goodnight room.
goodnight rainbows
& iridescent miscellaneous bobbles
that brighten up the windowless gloom.
goodnight light.
goodnight red octopus
& fake aquarium scene
that glows in the night.
goodnight iffy fish wishes
perched high up in a tree.
& a bold green eye
that's just looking at me.
goodnight trinkets
that clutter my space.
magic mushrooms and frogs,
fisher price toys all in a place.
goodnight all my stuff
that overspills the shelves.
papers and books,
flowers, tassels, and bells.
goodnight more toys
stacked high as the ceiling.
moonsand and goop,
things quite entirely (un)appealing.
goodnight muppets
stuck on the wall.
and goodnight to my crayons,
i so love you all.
goodnight to a few more toys
piled almost to the door.
puzzles, sorters, blocks, and pop-ups,
finger puppets and more.
& goodnight to the climber
scaling the rocks.
you can do it!
i know.
just think out of the box.
it's the end of the school year, and i am closing up shop.
my little green-glowing cave (though i love you a lot),
summer is here and i'm ready to be
just a little less busy and a little more free.
