Excerpts


Excerpt

Shadow

The shadow of Naples

The shadow of stanzas waiting

The shadow of daylight is absence

The shadow of a mother includes another

The shadow of chaos is order

The shadow of the hawk is the robin

The piano's shadow is a cape

The cape's shadow is a woman

The shadow of one dream is another dream

The shadow within a dream is infinite

The shadow of a boat is an anchor

The shadow of regret is tragedy

The shadow of love is loss

Oh my! The shadow is back and is waiting

The shadow of paint is only paint

The shadow of rain is wetness unto itself

The shadow of morning is lean

Come back, shadow of my youth

Shadow me, and tell me where I've been

Come back, warm shadows of the Sundays of my youth

Even the brightest poem is haunted by shadows

The shadow of the mother, the shadow of the father

Shadows are robes the sun keeps dropping

Come back, lost shadows, syllables of midnight

To plead for a shadow is to plead for mercy
