The Adumbration Of Night Poem by Mellisa Salazar

two shadows walk

across these castle walls

and each one

just around a corner


enduring only by

the birth of the night

and the blush of a flame

igniting the halls


two shadows are one

with the cold stone walls

a smoky draft of you

and a clouded rendition of me


two shadows so eager

to not be alone

frantically running

across the cold stone


a stairway goes somewhere

so somewhere we go

a door that swings open

and two shadows go


now one with the night

they have both found

that by the brilliance of light

Into the vastness

they’re bound
