| Ahead of me, in the half-light cast by a streetlamp, I saw a cluster of tall, undulant shapes at the turning. |
| Before bed, they line up for hours to confess, knees bent on the pavement, to a priest sitting on a chair under a streetlamp. |
| The lamp on my desk is almost a smaller version of the streetlamp outside, the same gracefully bent head, the same bubble of electric light harnessed and fastened to a hood. |
| Struggling in the black horror where shines only, at the streetlamp of the burning mind, the name of the sin that caused them to be submerged in such a horror! |
| Afterward, as they walked back to the hotel in streetlamp shadows, it was hard not to notice a certain slope of the shoulder, a cool, hands-in-pocket slouch set against out-turned ears. |
| The coins glimmered in my palm, dully reflecting the dim light cast by the streetlamp overhead. |
