there's a shadow in the house lurking in the kitchen and hallway sometimes peeking out into the living room or dining area I catch its movement peripherally a flash in the corner of my eye gone before I turn my head to look a ghost of the past? a haunting in the present? a purposeful visitation? something insidious? imagination's figment? should I be afraid of karma's regurgitation or comforted as I sit alone? or is it just a shadow the movement of leaves and branches breezing in the window's wind outside this cold, drafty old house

SITTING IN THE SHADOWS
there's a shadow in the house lurking in the kitchen and hallway sometimes peeking out into the living room or dining area I catch its movement peripherally a flash in the corner of my eye gone before I turn my head to look a ghost of the past? a haunting in the present? a purposeful visitation? something insidious? imagination's figment? should I be afraid of karma's regurgitation or comforted as I sit alone? or is it just a shadow the movement of leaves and branches breezing in the window's wind outside this cold, drafty old house
