and here I stand
a stone
beside an unshaded lamp
4 walls and a door
I've tried to chase
your ghost
out that door
many times
and the unfathomable echo
of your footsteps lingers
forever fading down the hallway
the unshaded lamp
the mirror above the sink
a dangerous animal
the broken heart is
in the unforgiving light
of a windowless room.
