Dance Of A Perfect Shadow Poem by Leah Dodd

Dance Of A Perfect Shadow



once i knew how to feel
all at once without
staining your skin
in the way you'd hunt something
precious i was
glass that
reflected the best in you

before i started to see
light in different sunsets
before i stared at walls
and cried til sunrise
before i found the beauty
in a perfect shadow dancing

once,
i let you know me

from the outside in

A successfully intimate poem of promise. No capitals or punctuation but that's OK.
