Proportions

Crap.
The light fell
spilling across the floor
it exposed the bottom
the secret place kept hidden
under the bed.

just outside range
frozen now in the dark part
of the room; my life flashes
held there I wonder

passes around me
the light rolls the other way
a deeper shadow, light crawling up the wall and
I see the top now

and it is strange and out of reach.
