The Man In the Funny Hat (2AM)

here the man
in the funny hat wonders about
turns into the senseless shadow
in a mirror of endless shadows

around him the tossing sleepless souls search
what souls always search for
continue to speak in their hushed tones
or merely sing for their sleep
their wanting sanctification

in an instant
the hint of a crescent moon
becomes the face of all men 

and what do they do with the soul of that moon
when it emerges from the saintly clouds
when nothing else matters but
the funny man
in the funny
hat
