I love the night time
when I can see balloons seem
like headless bodies
or bodiless heads as it were,
floating without concern of where
from fence post -
recent party.

I love the feeling
when you look up and
the sky becomes your new floor
quite suddenly
dissorienting your normal uprightness-
not that you would care on a night like this.

Distant bugs
closer insects
the rush of trees
that annoying dog barking again -
players tuning to bring
what will become your sleep music -
on a night like this.

Very nicely expressed.
My only nit is the repetitious
"like headless bodies
or bodiless heads as it were,"
perhaps: "like bodiless heads treading air,"?
