Please Say No

Foot by foot down the stairs

No tinge of twilight between the floorboards

One man followed by another - deep south, beneath, under

Slowly entering the cellar

Let that choir sing and so it goes

He begs for every coin as they promise to reap and sow

She begs to be employed

Down below

Please say no
