Shadow
Witness me: flat and lifeless…
…it exhausts me to follow you,
the dark puddle on concrete,
the stain of what you are -
penumbra.
Once a day a light gently widens
with only a sky for company,
the gaze of the sun diligently lingering.
In the evening our bodies,
…skin like paper,
wither and bloom,
our disappearance sudden with the night.
