A Shadow Poem by Janie Neilson
A Shadow
Eyes glinting
Teeth flashing
Knife dripping
Red
With blood
Shouts echoing
Feet running
Closer, louder
A shadow
Slips away
Quiet in the moonlight
Silent in the moonlight
When morning comes
He won't
Remember where he's been
Knocking wakes him
Dragging takes him
Beatings make him
Red
With blood
Shaking body
Pounding chest
Heavy noose
Around his neck
Falling, falling
Sudden stop
A shadow
Slips away
