shadows of ourselves.

the light from the other room extends

illumination, an obscure shape

the contour of a wing, a bending bough


the idea of contentment, a glass of milk

my psychosis, long abandoned

there, the abstract is familiar


in the warmth, your arms when we sleep

ignoring all inventory of conduct

responsibility is dragging behind, like a hungry fiend


the forgotten shadows

will hunt us down

taunting us, whispering their condolences
