IV.III
This row of flats in Wolverhampton's maisonettes
have two floors each; a nod to resident's desire
for space to raise a family without regrets
of leaving terraced housing to live higher.
She ventures down the stairs with extra caution
for there are windows facing access to the door
where people can see in, though just the portion
who live upon this residential floor.
But most of these are flats rented to students
who tend to leave them empty when terms end
but it's always wise to be a little prudent
about the passers-by she might offend.
