Shadow Puppets

We laid in the dark 

As some nondescript light from somewhere on the street

Fell sideways through the window and lit up the wall behind us.

We laughed loudly,

The sound of it bubbling up like clouds that would float all around 

The otherwise silent house.

We made shadow puppets on the wall with our hands,

Even our feet.

We talked about staying in that bed

In that room 

Forever.

Everything was safe there.
