“Shadow On The Lake by Stewart Stafford Neighbour coughing up phlegm, As Stefan began his morning jog, With an elderly shadow escort, His stooping gait shocked him. Outcast sleeper in their lakeside car, Windows fogged with condensation, Homeless sightseer or lost tourist? Absconded prisoner, lovers entwined? He left the stranger(s) undisturbed, Pulling a sharp U-turn at the lake, His aged shape still fleet of foot, Dormant fugitive(s) eating his dust. © Stewart Stafford, 2022.

Shadow On The Lake by Stewart Stafford
Neighbour coughing up phlegm,
As Stefan began his morning jog,
With an elderly shadow escort,
His stooping gait shocked him.
Outcast sleeper in their lakeside car,
Windows fogged with condensation,
Homeless sightseer or lost tourist?
Absconded prisoner, lovers entwined?
He left the stranger(s) undisturbed,
Pulling a sharp U-turn at the lake,
His aged shape still fleet of foot,
Dormant fugitive(s) eating his dust.
