Poem: Chocolate

It's been a while...so let's post some stuff I've written recently. 

This one came from another awesome course I've taken with The Poetry School (can't recommend their courses enough). The aim was to write about an emotional moment but in the most factual and non-descriptive way possible.  Here's my effort....

​it’s evening
the rain is heavy
lamplights
on a cul-de-sac 
 
inside a bedroom
he feeds her chocolate
from the bedside table
already broken up
into little squares
the crumbs melt into the carpet
 
her eyes wander around the room
she communicates through nods
and tired smiles
 
hours pass
others enter and leave
asking if they could help
or if she needed anything
 
she gives off a dry cough
before clicking her tongue twice
 
he closes her eyes
and leaves to tell others
