Notes About The Poem

THE LIGHTSWITCH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I flicked it off~
the final bulb in the house~
and stood in the dark,
counting the hums
of appliances
I forgot to unplug.
The fridge sighed,
the modem blinked,
and the walls,
thin as a whisper,
held their breath
like a thief
in an empty room.
Outside,
the streetlamp
swayed its yellow noose.
Inside,
I became
the shadow
I'd been chasing
all along.
