STUCK ON LIGHTS



 we stuck lights on everything
   so we can carry on
  fucking it all up
    after the sun  has gone down

      our version of dark now
  isnt really dark at all

      but then 
   when i go for a lights-off night slash
        i cant look in the mirror
    because i know 
  i will loom inside it

      dark unreal and almost
         someone else

  and i cant look out the window
    in case i glimpse movement
          out there

 creeping on the night lawn

  so i stand there hurrying and pushing
       so 
      really 
        very 
       sure 
 dead hands are reaching 

    for my ankles

     across the tile
