Shadow at High Noon
Absorbed into my own skin
Into the darkness, transfixed
Partly eclipsed
I spin..
Like a self-centred shadow
opaque to the light,
Oblivious to what's right,
I get sucked into the dark shallows
Was it without a fragment of resistance?
Or was it shard by shard?
Broken pieces of me, charred
Ashes re-joined into the black vortex in an instance
Drawn in by my grey smudged eyes…
Deeper than the black of my carbon black kohl
Almost In step, doing salsa with my other side
