Shadows

some shadows just walk past me
never an indication of what
or who they are looking for; need I ask
these shadows their intent?  I say not, not
that I care as long as it be not my sacred space
they want to occupy
in this room; there is more than enough
room for all of us - let them then keep to their
own corner and let them keep to themselves
their intent - I have words to write
before the sun moves all of us
into another room
for night...
