LONG LISTED FOR THE 2023 GRIFFIN POETRY AWARDS

Night Goodwill

Besides all the suspicion or rather my craftiness, I

occasionally got caught in a trap especially when

it was a well put conspiracy; thus I entered that store,

during the afternoon and I looked for an overcoat; yet

the lazy clerk, “you have to pay for it”, he said “but

where am I in the zoo?” I was ready to slap him,

however night was falling and I chose to walk out:

time to turn the lights on, so many lampposts which
I had to feed with my fears every night.
