Shadows

Shadows

A Poem by Leo Allen

When silhouettes become shadows,
Darker, deeper in the gallows
Brows narrowing
For sighting; slighting --
In the corner It always follows.

When Suns melt on the hills,
Watching from the window sills
It creeps, crawls, approaches
Licking, hissing at your heels.

Leaving puddles under feet,
Drowning life beneath the grove,
Through the trees and brush It flees --
Fear in layers like a rose.
