Hemingway saw it and wrote
about creating a world separate
projected for sense
shining upon words
shades of life, long in the dawn
for babies and business
shadows a contrast to light,
direction gone
still exist in memory or science
each morning, each evening in San Diego
I pad down the street with my little skunk feet
my shadow is in front of me
taller than a tree,
I know now who I am
shining upon the world.
