7 – Into the Shadow


Into the shadow

another shadow


in the shadow

bad boy

rode


and out of the abyss of depression

cloaked for fear of the truth

shadow swim memory fish

dove to get the light


out of the grave

the shadow brandishing

we go

just beyond vision



a shadow being

grief’s remains


into the shadow

jump


walk north at noon

bodies go out of style


a crab scuttles out of the light

into the shadow

went into the shadow

the shadow turns

a lovely lady, hair of gold

the mother of the valley of death


a table with oil

my cup runneth over

into the shadow

colours still distinguishable

being

lost


can you name the woman?

her lover is not near

the death of the still

light behind is impossible


my secrets scurried

scuttled


into the shadow came the people,

the air, the ground, the sun, the universe

where I know what lurks in the heart


into the shadow I step

knowing not, caring not,

fearing
