imprisoned in a pint of pale ale neon lights
storm black claims the upper half of winter sky
stay as long as the lungs permit in the undersea quiet
a routine of wrestling limbs and finding warmth
the slow crawl of daylight through the grey
birdsong withers in the morning winds
this obsession with light has scarred the night
off to spread a rumour the spider becomes two
cat leashed to the gate its shadow strolls the cold corridor
