Streetlight Bandit Poem by Casey Renee Kiser / snail viXen

Streetlight Bandit



I count on the streetlight going off
while I'm under it,
as the sky lights up the brides.
I'm only married to moving on now
and to MAKING OUT
like a bandit.

Don't shine on me or guide me.
My direction is obvious,
as the sky lights up the bribes.
I'm only talked into robberies now
and to MAKING OUT
like a bandit.

My heart is chanting...darkness
and I'm counting the streetlights
that I steal on the sun's watch.
