shadows

back and forth
shifting
across windy walk

tossed across
a plane
cast by blocking
light

observe
reflect
ambient

sounds
shimmer
and boom

my skin feels
like latex
stretched over
this apathetic armature

passing through
aperture

iris
provision

dust streams
sparkle
he stands
silhouetted
robust
and glittering

time recedes
into heartbeats
and breath

numbered
inventoried
indexed

I look
to comprehend
the whole
of this
elegant
entity

who chooses
to reside
beside
the ensuing
chaos
