Silhouettes

moonlit night

I hear your footsteps
behind my window

but all I see 
is your silhouette
merging into another

Africa, Full moon, lantern, shadows

Done for Carpe Diem

Mixing up the action so the reader does not know if nature is doing the action or if a human is doing it.

Shadows

full moon

dispelling the shadows cast

by the old lantern

Shadows

ghosts

flickering lantern

reveals their shadow

2

moonless night

 grandma dispelling shadows

with her flickering lantern

3

I write your name with soot

on the mud wall

but it is blown away

by that breath of wind

from the wicker of the lantern

and with it you are gone

4

flickering soot

wiping my memory

of you
