RED SHADOW

I rose

To cross the room

To step up to

The window,

To look out of

The window,

I rose

Up from my chair

To reach the Window,

But,

I saw-

I glanced

Behind me and

I saw, like blood, like

A stain......

Before I knew,

Like wine, dark

Like a pool,

Spilled on the floor-

My shadow-Red

-stretched out behind

Me-

Red,

Why is my shadow Red ?

Why is my shadow Red !
