A Poet's Shadow
We sit upon a log
to allow our souls
to catch up with us
We have been traveling
a long time.
Behind us
are forests of books
with pages green as leaves.
A blood sun stares
over the horizon.
Our souls are slow.
They walk miles behind
our long shadows.
They do not dance.
They need all their strength
merely to follow us.
Sometimes we run too fast
or trip climbing
the rotten rungs
in life's ladder.
Our souls know
it leads nowhere.
They are not afraid
of losing us.
