I close my eyes, and I see you
In outline only
A shadow before the sun
A silent silhouette
I know you not
Un-named stranger
Why are you here?
Why are you here now?
You neither move nor speak
Can you hear me?
I’m not frightened
Should I be?
Not until I open my eyes
The same inky shape
Stands in the doorway
Watching, waiting…
