Edge...

walking a hallway
with walls as dark as earth
Tesanto’s eyes bled with rhythm
awaiting each step……so cautiously placed with gentle affair
this oaken floor cracked, with a thirst to speak

an intruder was near 
the darkness was venom....flooding and drowning any line of sight

if only a glimpse.....could draw the moon.....through taunt windows
a path could open
i could cut to the chase

carry the worry of this rhythm in stride
brave and demanding
Tesantos buried emotions in this.....line of thought, this situation... and plodded forward

no longer caring about the floor
where boards chattered and spoke uncertainty
a stir off in in the dining room
a breezing curtain
swaying awkward amidst its intended stare down

Tesantos approached
a now open window
granted with the most faint street light 
enough to squint through but not focus on
not enough to focus on and understand the blurred meaning behind

one last step forward
a trembling peel of the wandering drapery.....at windows edge
Tesantos saw a shadows wisdom as short breath brought a brief wheezing to the air
a door to somewhere else was exposed

this was its waltz, within a room
an ending…
