Brandon's Shadow
By violetfyre
We were in Brandon Park In the dark Listening to leaves skitter Across the softball field, Thinking they were footsteps. Listening to the wind rustling Through the tree branches, Thinking they were voices. Listening to the clock chime ten. We were in Brandon Park In the dark Beneath a lamppost That shed white light In a place full of orange. She would have mused how Shadows cannot speak, If she'd been able to talk at all. She might have stared at me If she didn't have to follow my gaze As my head spun around and around And the swing rocked back and forth. She might have left me sitting alone In the dark In Brandon Park If she could have. ** Written March 8th, 2002 © on Mar 12 2002 08:39 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
