Shadow Infested Room
Himani Goel
Closing the door on the shadow infested room?
I say no
I pull the curtains open.
Shaky hands
Windows stuck
Strain harder
pushed open with a rattle
Sudden breeze
hair swept away
Curtains blown
The wind takes the lead to start a dance with the mossy curtains
Up they fly
saying hello to the
particles
sparkling like pixie dust
a magic in new ray of shine
The wind pulls back with a whisper
the curtains flow down
caught
in a thorn,
grown unknown…
The skinny
