shadows

December 02 2013

When my inner man
is weak, or scared
I cry out
and you come-
from memory
from life
from outer systems

shadow-men
as dark as the falconer's hood,
as familiar as midnight,

you come
in every guise and form
powered by this one lack
filled over and over by
this gaping absence
hollow and devoid
you come
into my mind
to have your say
