Shadowed.

The candle wick
died in the
gusts, as 
across the thresholds
passed shadows.


A dark spot on 
the floor, these 
long castings 
without shapes.
They are shadows
without owners,
no one claiming
them from the lost
and found.


They tread heavy 
across the wooden boards,
hewn rough and grey.
Standing in boots 
and sighing in 
my kitchen.


I offer them tea,
and seat by the window.
