Dance with a Shadow

A poem

Withering sunset
Bitter pill
Dance with a shadow
An inescapable view
Unclinch your throat
Allow the poison to run through
Time is a fleeting friend
The act of a court jester
An ego trip of the vain
Vile discontent
Pose for the camera
and embrace the prison walls
Captive sight
Captured by fate
