Moving

Under

The

Strip

Light

 

Cold

And

Exposed

 

Stopping

Under

The

Strip

Light

Bare

Feelings

Fully

Exposed

 

Nearly

Numb

With

Fear

His lips

Stutter

 

‘Don’t

Wake

Me

If it

Doesn’t

Look

Right’

 

She

Replies

‘I can’t

Do that

I, don’t

Have the

Right

To turn

Off the

Light’

 

Counting

From

Ten to One

Eyes pull

Down

Their

Blinds

And

Shut out

The Strip

Light
