What do you think this poem is about?

shadow play

one after the other
the pretentions're
cast away like
ill-fitting clothes

clothes
pretentions
lie scattered

the walls of the night
are painted with
the two shadows
in a single colour

    Shadows meet in night for a day's doom to glorify
    Shadows meet and change their geospatial axis
    Shadows run as silhouette in an inquisitive mind
    Shadows are sigh and sensitive; so silent for a shadow's sake
    Shadows undress in colours of man and a woman
    Shadows hue collected makes the next morning look like a day
    Shadows then separate to search for more in shores of ocean
    where they met
    before shadows become shell of an oyster with their colours
    stigmatizing more shadows to come
    In shadow's shannonical sarcasm
    Melee and myriad shadows
    to be one and only shadowed showdown
    to be shadowy forever.

    Interesting play on words. I like the association with clothes.

    'night', 'painted'; 'shadows' 'colour',
    ma'am, u've blended these immiscibles in a fantastic way to produce some delightful imagery and emotion.
    loved it.
    thank you.

    clothes
    pretentions
    lie scattered

    the walls of the night
    are painted with shadows
    in a single colour

    Lovely piece Indira.....
