voice | poetry
Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in
—Rainer Maria Rilke
Protected by your stare
Sun’s rays will burn me
If it spies me standing there
Under covers of the bed I made
Next to a pile of books to read
Window’s light a threat
Curtains now a shade
Dull shaped pattern of gray
Cover thick on the ground
Outline the place where I can stay
~Shannon P. Laws
