In the shadows
Sits a woman
A child woman
Her heart held tight
Her throat closed
Arrow straight and rigid
One tear slides past control
Shoulders shudder with
A deep, deep breath
Searching for satisfaction and ease.
In the shadows
A child woman
holds still and quiet
Her heart held tight
her voice banished.
“Your nightmares follow you like. a shadow, forever.”
~ Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project
