Shadow
written by Emma Pilger.
So now I’ll trace the outline of all that was left behind
the way spirits roam the streets.
And in the background,
I hear my clock ticking
and the church bells ringing
So I dance on my toes to avoid digging my feet into the ground.
A thought keeps appearing to me that says,
“Is everyone aware of their own shadow?”
