Beneath The Surface
Martin Rutley
Randomly choosen hotel
Little criteria
Nothing beginning with F
Just superstition
A cab ride across the city
Heavy rain against the windscreen
Cigarette burns in green leather
Room on second floor
Dangerous number
Too many 3's
Patterns emerging
Semi-dressed men wander the halls
Glazed stares register nothing
The reek of alienation
Wooden chair by the window
Dead moth upturned
Fragility exposed
Passing cars light the room
Greys momentarily banished
The clock above the bed
A second from seven
Trigger pulled

"the poem was short and surprising. it reminded me of the plot/backdrop to an Alfred Hitchcock film." -- amy lynch, united states.
"This is fantastic. Very cinematic and such a complete narrative in so few words - and a nice change from vampires and sad love poems." -- Peter Rivendell.
