black rain glistens on the window panes
she looks out at unfenced existence
at the the life that never was
her eyes shine like stars beneath the lights
turned on by mom before she went off on one
these men hunched up, collars pulled tight,
detectives steaming under these high ceilings
a woman in high heels clutches mummy’s bag
unsteadily she shudders
mascara slides down her face.
police sirens disguise her sobbing
drawing closer to her, the woman shivers
looks at the blood on her hands abd clothes
so many people looking at her
