shadows on a shelf

 shadows on a shelf


did you know

there is a library of shadows

actually they are films

black and white and stark films and

the sun is both librarian and borrower


place your bet

i suggest number ten and black

see the shadow delivered in a blink

see how the slow motion is constant

along each meridian 

magician 

beat that with your top hat and

your black and white wand


me

i kick the shadowed

even the cat cannot outrun

or pounce upon its shadow

the empty shelves gather dust

each spec growing a shadow

for the moon through the window

also knows this secret
