Yellow light paints the floor,
Marred by dark slats of shadow.
Cool porcelain absorbs the heat of skin,
As tears pound the splintered floor
In a warning drumbeat
That must wake the world.
But no one comes.
I stare at the shadows,
Searching for a rescuer.
The shadows stare back,
Silent and waiting.
Waiting on me to realize.
And I do.
The rescuer is already here,
Staring at the shadows,
Tears pounding out the
March to freedom,
Yellow light pointing the way.
