SHADOW LIFE
i am shadow
cast in fragile flesh
air,
then water
sun, then soil
one thing
then another
known, and not,
ducking behind a face
like my father's
scoundrel,
saint, and shaman
same as you
artist
dilettante
dust
free as wind, yet
bound to this
cast in fragile flesh

sun, then soil

then another
known, and not,

like my father's

The bucket hat -- practical and always in vogue.
Thanks much, Cipher.
Always an honor.

Dear J,
I loved the reflection in this write. When I consider how much I’m becoming more and more like my mother as I age…😬
I really enjoyed the opposites scoundrel/saint, Artist/dilettante, free/bound. A true piece of insight for me, how we’re a mix of many things.
Fabulous piece. H🌷
PS ditto BV love the pic!

Thank you, Honoria.
Your kind and thoughtful remarks are always appreciated.
I see my father in the mirror and in so many qualities we share.
