Haunted

by Christy Carpenter   Jul 13, 2005


Staring in the rearview mirror,
I see everything now.
Its haunting me,
Following me.

I hate my shadow
It bleeds and bleeds,
Dies and reappears.
The wounds reopen
And stains the polluted air.

I try to take a nap
But its right there next to me.
I'll get rid of it
As soon as it falls asleep.
