Chimera

Stealing the light of the candle,
She had danced with the shadows once.
Shadows
That now stand stripped naked.
The candle,
Extinguished.

    the ambiguity of the subtext is teasingly well written.

    Incisive and suffocating in its countenance. Brilliant.

    @probe: One never knows what poem will be born from a game of rearranging a limited number of words.
