who are you?

in poetry •  7 years ago 

winter's whiteness clung to your graceful cadence
the only thing military about it was
the way it tore me down inside
there are angels with less elegance

whatever dressed your feet i failed to see
distracted by all the fine lines between ankle and thigh
how wondrously the whiteness bled into the hem of
whatever you were wearing

i am just a shadow burning through the hallway

who are you? who are you?
nemo sum
nemo sum
