very good poem. I'd only lose the word "clinical" for the light though as that's really clichéd and is not at all how streetlights are - they simply aren't bright enough to be clinical,though they are cold but that doesn't scan nicely - you could have "critical" instead to imply a sense of judgement which is echoed later in the poem with weighing up and questioning who did it. but the rest has great pace and confidence and is nicely done.
