Night Sidewalks Poem by Martha J. Eshelman

Night Sidewalks



My shadow reels
in and out, long and short,
single, double, dark, light
negating street lamps
as it stretches grotesquely
to tug me into darkness.

I lengthen my stride
hurrying, scuttling
into the thick even light
of an all-night deli;
I repace myself in coffee steam
knowing no way home
except through street lights.
