It may envelop like a memory

            Or taste of grief

            Cool like a pitiless smile

            Or press with the weight of regret

 

            Shield, cloak or camouflage

            My friends advise me

            It’s no place to live a life

 

            But I’m convinced you cast

            My face into a field of possibility

            That can’t exist at noon

            Or on a moonless starless night

 

            Because I know beyond a doubt

            That there are two sides to a shadow

            And an infinity of shade
