Trench coats approach an uninhabited alley
The rain muffles the sound of their footsteps
They look up at the light from a window; he’s home
They look down at their guns; it’s on
Long time coming
Things done in the dark, things unsaid in the light
He’s home
In a few minutes, he will be no longer
Trench coats are ready
They smile...
They revel in each other...
They embrace…
The city lights shine bright
The one in the window has extinguished
They embrace…
And embrace and embrace…
Another trench coat approaches the now inhabited alley...
