Start walks with the shadow beside
Shorter than me-
When the sun in-front at morn
A shadow shimmers at my window
At noon still walking towards
Sun on head of horizon
A smaller shadow sighs on neck
And dancing with me
Afternoon an old shadow
Bigger than me-
Running towards dark-
Moving faster than sun
After evening it inside me
Dark is bigger than shadow
Shadow devoured and dissolved
And the moon disappeared through dark
