Kalikke's Poems — "Shadows"

"This town in a foreign land Has a narrow twisting street With lanterns hanging on the left and right. As I walk the twisting path between, And the lanterns shine behind my back, I leave one shadow on the wall, And leave another on the road. Since the day I settled here, Every evening when the lanterns shine, And the shadows dance in their light, I walk this narrow twisting street, And you know why."
