Curfew - Poem by Lexy Sogl

Dancing down the road
Dignity in one hand, Johnny in the other

Skipping merrily
Laughing at her own
slender shadow

Following

Closer, Nearer
she came to the door
Fumbling with her keys
Listening, to their jingles

Trying to unearth the rhythm
hidden in the metal

Distracted, by her curiosities
The door opened

An unmerciful creature
Stepped out

Seized her sugary night
Discarded her bliss

but the memories
-are still there
