it's like a part of me
yet where is it stitched to me
I haven't figured out
it follows like it knows where I'm going
like it's spying my steps
it bends and it breaks
sometimes it's dark black
sometimes it tries on a greyscale
and sometimes I swear
it's nowhere to be found
and it gets easier to move around
and I wonder how much of me does it know?
does it talk to other shadows?
are they onto us?
and surely someday we too will part
where will my shadow go
I don't know
