Shadows run across me
One then two
Gathering to block me out
Along with rats and roaches
Darkening
Alleyway of busted bottle dreams
Behind trash cans and empty cardboard boxes
I wait patiently for lights to reflect
From puddles
Gleaming through my cornea reminding me
Of the light inside that struggles to reflect
Through the darkness.
