Guilty Pleasure

The dark holds my empty hand
The stars have turned away
Time to stroke my guilty pleasure
It’s cold – but that’s my way.
I shield it from prying eyes
Take it out when drunk or tired
Polish it with some guilty pleasure
Until my brow is perspired.
I tell no-one of my guilty pleasure
Lest they not understand
I’m left with my shameful smile
And the darkness in my hand.
