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 !
