I am determined to catch my shadow. At first, we walk, hand in hand My shadow’s grip a comforting sort of strong Our hearts bound together with soft blue ribbon Beating in unison to a single, noble snare An imperfect rhythm in five We stride up moonlit, forgotten paths Where flowers have been crushed among the cobblestones My shadow turns to me and asks in a whisper: “What makes your cheeks reflect the stars?” I haven’t a clue if it’s sweat or tears – I’m too afraid to find out As I tread further from the light behind me, within me My shadow stretches away Extending his long, thin, gossamer fingers to brush the horizon ahead Dancing ever so lightly on toes made of midnight He taunts me Then his contours waver And he jumps Straight off the edge of Knowing Landing hard As if immediately stitched fast to the fabric of Almost And another sun rises.
