Streetlight Girl

Streetlight Girl

November 23, 2024

Ode to the features featured by incandescence

A paltry emission from tungsten filaments

Merely highlighting aspects perfectly defined

By close proximity for verification

From any distance by reputation

Almond eyes

A cleft(ish) chin

Arched eyebrows

Transfixed on someone afar

Only a ruse to hide interest from passersby

When the streetlight dims

When the shadows approach

The lady doth departs covertly

Possibly with a furtive intent

Possibly to avoid complications

Huzzah to the streetlight

Huzzah to those who exploit its purpose

But under closer scrutiny

I disprove its engineering

For I will never see the girl again
