Streetlight

by Alyssa Nicole Erkskine

A passing shadow on an alley wall

Silent tread of barefoot feet

Midnight wanderer skirts the fall

Of a pool of light on a lonely street

No memory lingers to show the way

To whisper the tale of this passerby

Who left no trace but a shadow to play

Beneath the quiet seething sky
