Do adults need a night light?

​THE UPPER WINDOW
 
The light was always on
in the top window.
Twenty-four hours a day
for months, it stayed on.
 
The house was empty
and I think they forgot
to turn off the light
in the top room.
 
Now, this morning
the light is off.
Have they re-visited the house,
and turned off the light?
 
Or perhaps the bulb
has simply died?
Whichever is true, we are all left,
looking into the darkness.
