Shadow

 

 

    

The sun decides to
enter from the garden

 

 

moving on the carpet
he touches all your furniture
crawls under your closet door
investigates your wardrobe

 

 

moves his arm across
your memories
substituting light
heat and silence

 

 

he erases last year's
conversations with the stars
changes the contents of your mirrors
invents an alternative
palette for your crystal

 

 

scrapes his nails across brocade
revealing tangled threads
like contours on a map

 

 

he polished your tables
his brilliance clings to cutlery
till spoons become large
bright incisions
all across the grain

 

 

a weight of gold and heat
he stops      burning
at the flesh of your neck

 

 

you are the only shadow in the room

                                                                    I don't know how I'd describe my poetry.  
                                                   each piece reflects a moment, an emotion, a time. 
                                                   none are considered finished...
