With a lie.

Streetlight slides throught the blinds,
Interrupts my sleep, I awake.
Mary quotes Lorca, "Agony always agony."
Gasps for air, struggles to breathe.
-Outside the full moon and the starlight fades.
The cat and dog engage in the same old fight.
Neighbor's baby is awake,
- I can hear the cries.
I convince her to stay
and breathe
calmly
with the employ
of a lie.

Excellent!! You are very good at saying so much in a short number of lines, and you always seem to have the right amount, and say only the necessary. I like your style!! Keep it up!

This paints such a vivid picture, and leaves a really simple yet powerful feeling behind. The pictures of the scene just gives a greater impact on the over all impact of your piece. If you had just straightforwardly said everything you meant, it wouldn't have been as good. Its vague yet oddly specific to many situations. Very good write.

I know better than to expect rainbows and butterflies when I come to your page, but you have been on vacation and you bring me this!! dang... ok.. all kidding aside, you always manage to condense a lot in a little.. those lies, while deceiving and fruitful at first, they always come back to bite you in the a*s.. you paint quite the vivid scenery and emotion in this one... well done... If I were you, I would find new employment :P
