SHADOW

When it's-  light  all around
that  reveals itself  like a  sword
unsheathed  and  sure,-
 like  my fate

It will cling to me  unto  my root
as if  my counter- part
and with  octopus  grip
embraces deep  and   would not leave
until  its  own  deep  shape
enters  me to  follow  beyond
unto the  depth of night .

Then on the  final day
she  will return as lover
 hold me tight
for a betrothal dance
and as  I  swoon !
