Your Shadow Looks Nothing Like You
Stretched and
filled
and held together with light
your shadow looks nothing like you.
Villainous nose
and extended brow
it does nothing to mimic the truth.
Like a moth
to a light
and the monstrous beast on the wall
your shadow betrays who you are.
The sun in you hair
and the gleam in your eye
hold you far better in the morning.
So I'll wait till noon
when your shadows diminished,
and I'll wait till night
when we can play inside each one.
