shadows

i am my shadow in another dimension
and my shadow is more real than i
i give up trying to understand myself
and my shadow is easy to see and be

my shadow is me in real loss of light
lightless, my shadow makes me move
and be the way the shadow should be
there by defining its existence for itself

in all lightness and lightlessness
my shadow and i share one soul
easy, easy as existing and being
we co-exist, an unsolved puzzle

to us both
