Silhouette

A peeling shadow turns to watch me as a passerby
 
 
Sliding flush with their surroundings...
 
 
Invisible
 
 
All details are distorted--Black
 
 
Blotting all that I see
 
 
Silent it's communicator
                        These transmissions you receive...
 
 
An eerie glow
 
 
Unnatural; a lifeless shade of dull white turning blue
 
                                    
 
                     Momentarily mesmerising...
 
 
 
I tear my thoughts away
 
 
Mind clouded
 
 
Reality snaps back in check
 
 
 
Shade figures subsiding...
 
 
Walking through their gaunt doorways
 
 
 
Reminiscing
 
 
 
All time is forgotten...
                        ...But for now
 
 
 
A painted shadow on the window blind
 
 
Is all that's left to see
