The light winks,
It knows what it’s doing to me,
Cheeky thing,
It knows what I want.
A break from the long day.
Time to remove what I don’t need and get what I do.
But it smiles benevolently.
Mind-reading monster.
I must push on,
Keep going until I don’t have to.
Home will be reached;
Cold and dripping with rain,
Because of the wily
Unbending Light.
