Dirty Conscience

Standing silent like a statue carved of darkness,
In the falling dusk at the threshold of night,
Among the leafless trees shuddering in the coldness
Of the waning light,

She doesn't shiver, doesn't shy away to leave my sight,
Remains unmoving and unmoved, merciless,
That fragment of my soul, the one with the might,
To make me fear tomorrow.

My dirty conscience.
