Faith Elizabeth Brigham - Shadows

the light is going fast
and you'll soon see
or maybe say (like
other men have said) you
look best in shadows
it's those high cheekbones
so-called bedroom eyes
the this or that of you


it's supposed to
be a compliment but
you don't see the same things
i see in the darkness
mainly the shadow
of the shadow
