FORMS A SHADOW

 

My pen lays

          lazily

   on a piece

           of paper

 

positioned strategically

           on the bureau

 

the pen forms a shadow  

                whenever 

       I turn on

          the light

 

It’s a subtle reminder

       of what’s lurking

          in the depths

            of my soul

The Shadow Knows

I love a decent pen.
