While You Were Sleeping (A Night on the Town)


I saw your shadow 
last night

                    lurking

in the corner of the room


It took a seat
at a table           

                   in the dark

for only a moment


with another shadow
who wondered 

               why this place

was chosen for haunting


That silhouette
the restless energy
                                  
               nervous hands in pockets

I knew it was you


It didn't look happy
then 

a phone call          more bad news 

and it was gone



Creepy, huh?
