A lonely Street

A lone street
a pair of feet
 a hurried pace
 game of light and shade
I see a shadow
I hope a she
what if it’s a he?
 A need to pee
 my eyes are downcast
 dare not to look up
a warning
my father
my brother
 my mother
 the world
I wish I was covered
wait, I am covered
I wish I was ice
one that can melt and rise
a darkened corner
some murmurings
smell of prayer flowers
in my memory
my mind is racing
my feet are cold
my hands are shaking
 I need to be bold
I look up and see straight
I walk fast, faster, fastest
He or She walks fast, faster, fastest
The darkened corner
A hand brushes by
I jump and start
And my heart flies
The shadow is gone
He or she or whoever
I stand  
In a lonely street
In a lonely corner
Alone
and then I run
after the shadow
