a shadow to sit in

inside
is where you go.
deep
down the stairs, or
up
to the attic.
to where the boxes are.
you make your home
among
the cobwebs,
the dust,
the mildew.
you find a shadow
to sit in,
with flashlight in hand.
the thunder roars,
the rain
pellets the roof.
a cool wind
finds its way in
through the cracks.
you smell all of your
yesterdays in there.
it's wonderful.
