Shadows

Shadows overstep the sides of gigantic buildings

Strangers with harrowing looks scatter the streets like marbles

Dusk sets in, awaking the dangerous

Howls and moans escape the dark corners

I stride cautiously through the fog, gripping the edges of my coat

Familiar, this feeling

Scared, alone, unknowing of what to expect

Eyes gaze through filthy windows and follow me as I pass

I don’t remember how to get home

Still, I walk on waiting for that moment of clarity

Waiting for something to come along and remind me where I am

But dusk doesn’t pass

I am trapped in this strange land

And now, it is all I know
