Things I thought

Streetlight


Streetlight


Billboards haunt
Like shadows
From a dream
That's not my own

I want things I hate
Myself
For wanting

Monstrous Kaiju
Gorgeous desire
Fifty foot sirens
Blaring
Luring
Me down
To their shallow depths

Light from adorned
Doorways claws
At my skin
The promise of denial

I scuttle home
To the safety of my
Private lies
