Whose Shadow Is This Poem by Hanan Akhtar Ansari
Whose Shadow Is This
Whose shadow is this
that walks beside me
when I have forgotten
where I am going?
Tonight I stop beneath a street lamp
and watch it fall at my feet.
I kneel beside it
like something lost,
and place my hand upon its darkness.
It trembles.
It quivers.
And my soul gathers ice.
