Pillars of Salt - Spring 2019

The Shadow Man He’s been with me for a long time I don’t know his name But I know who he is He’s the shadow under my feet That dances under my legs He’s the goose bumps that wriggle on my arm And the shiver that runs up my spine I feel him when I’m alone Inside my stomach He squeezes me tight Engulfing me inside of his mind It’s dark and cold Yet his grasp is so firm I fall into his vacant gaze Of contempt If I try really hard If I run really fast I can barely see his wondering shape Contouring to the genesis of my mind Barely feel his twinging grasp Embedded behind my ribcage But every time I close my eyes I see him standing in front of me Audrey Choate ‘20 Pillars of Salt 37
