Shadowman


My shadow on the wall is stooped
I stand upright.
My shadow on the wall begins to fall
To the ground ………………..
It disappears out of sight.
I stand upright.

I’m not a magician
And I have a suspicion
That I should have turned a blind eye.
As I think it was a premonition
Of sorts ……………
Maybe of the day I die.
But being stooped?
Might I grow old first?
Or am I walking a desert
Dying of thirst?
Or have I run a marathon
And did I come in first?

Maybe I’m the shadow.
And what is a shadow
Without a host?
Yep – you guessed it –
Maybe I’m a ghost ………..
