standing between two lampposts
is difficult
you don’t know where your shadow falls
grey shadows overlapping
you can’t tell which one
is really yours
or from which lamp it came
but you know it comes from both.

Shadows (poem)

long forms
short forms
hazy forms
incisive forms
grey forms
black forms
shadows form.
on walls
on ceilings
on floors
on grass
on meadows
on plains
on hills
stick fast.
running at will
jumping jacks
dancing with joy
walking fast
creeping silently
trailing like vines
climbing abandoned
still at last.
Winter of Despair (poem and painting)
0Crouching in the shadows
Doubting, desperate, and despondent
Even the sunlight is drab
