Another scratch,
a whisper of a scrape
a dimly distant alleyway
and then movement
from the corner
of my eye.

away
Away
AWAY
way away, I pray

But a  rustle
of shadows
a fleeting glimpse
perhaps?
or not….

What am I seeing?
am I imagining this?
is nothing there?
or is it Him. Her.
It. Them?
relentless
in their endless
Quest for me….

Why do they mirror
my every move
in every doorway…
on the side of every building?

Sipping my coffee and reading the paper,
not looking at anything,
seeing everything.
especially me.

The scoundrels.
Devoid of mercy,
they have slain my will
and have stolen my hope.
they will not cease
for I am the hunted….
I am their prey…..


Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa
