BED FOR A NIGHT:

Slow walk,
Long walk,
From the back to the front,
Looking lost,
A name tag on a ribbon,
Tiny face photo,

A number,
A whistle,
A signal to leave,
Hair pulled back,
Swaggering,

The manic week loves you,
White armatures of metal squeal,
A licked spoon,
The sound of a tongue,
A dirty yard of lights,
Teasel & rose-hip,
Half-moon shuddering,
Look down
