Museum Lights

The museum closed for ever,
and I was there
when they turned off the lights

They were turned off one by one...
At first the boardroom's
where Jacqui cried, I think

then the conference room
where they dismantled
all the plugs

then the rooms on all the floors,
and I could not stand it -
the long drawn-out goodbye
