She and her shadow
run to the river
to see their reflections
dance on the stone
on the floor of the river.
They see themselves dancing
she and her shadow
soul of he bone.
She holds her shadow
high in esteem
when she sleeps does her shadow
also dream?
Does it she wonders
her shadow have dreams of its own?
Or does it run to the river
to see its reflection
dance on the stone
on the floor of the river.
When she is sleeping
then does her shadow
dance all alone?
She loves her shadow
better than some
when she dies will her shadow
also succumb?
Has it she wonders
her shadow a death of its own?
Or will it run to the river
will it? her shadow
to see its reflection
dance on the stone
on the floor of the river
see itself dancing
lonely her shadow
soul of her bone.
When she is dead
will it dance alone?
They must have had their faces upturned at the time of the blast, for their eyes had melted in their sockets
