Lovely

malfunctioning lights
whine and flicker
off once-white tiles

a drop of blood
falls from your nostril
in slow motion, exploding
 
small puffs of powder
from the off-white line
on the cistern To me, a cistern is a water-tank, usually large and outdoors. Since you had already put me in a sleazy public bathroom, I had to assume it was a sink, but it really halted the flow.
 
heavy gravity
in the v of dive;
it’s happy hour

Can't think of anything else. Really like the last three lines. Carry on. Leah

Thanks for reading and commenting - a cistern is a water tank, used here more particularly for the tank above the toilet pedestal that holds the flushing water.  http://www.wickes.co.uk/Products/Bathroo.../c/1001017
