Doppelganger by James A. Lindon Entering the lonely house with my wife I saw him for the first time Peering furtively from behind a bush -- Blackness that moved, A shape amid the shadows, A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes Revealed in the ragged moon. A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have Put him to flight forever -- I dared not (For reasons that I failed to understand), Though I knew I should act at once. I puzzled over it, hiding alone, Watching the woman as she neared the gate. He came, and I saw him crouching Night after night. Night after night He came, and I saw him crouching, Watching the woman as she neared the gate. I puzzled over it, hiding alone -- Though I knew I should act at once, For reasons that I failed to understand I dared not Put him to flight forever. A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have Revealed in the ragged moon. A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes A shape amid the shadows, Blackness that moved. Peering furtively from behind a bush, I saw him for the first time, Entering the lonely house with my wife. |
Cool idea. Little wordy on the execution imo though that's just more my thing. Reminds me of one of those songs where the chorus is the backwards version of the progression for the verse. (9:20)AdmiralPiett: Intensify firewall security! (9:20)MoffJerjerrod: Too late! |
