A Poem a Day (202): Neon


Neon

Hear its soundless click
Speaking out to you
As it changes gear
From sneer to hello.

This sultry, slick speak.
Stripes of blinding hue,
Washing colours so brightly
You blink to close off.

Still shudder out of day.
Figures vanish inside,
Concealing their true selves.
Slink into a forever glow.

This ash-night watches,
Disguising its merriment.
We wander into neon
And it lights our way.
