Pindar said
a man is just a dream
of his shadow
I am the nightmare
of my walking shadow
not even sure
it's mine.
*
Plotino refused to be
portraited because his self
was only the shadow
of his platonic prototype.
The shadow of a shadow
of a shadow of a shadow...
And the last shadow just
a seagreen twinkle
in my cat's gaze.
*
Sat upon a rock in Montségur
stronghold of the hapless
Cathars and songful birds
the poet aligned his heart
to the sun in summer solstice
The poet became one of the Perfecti:
his shadow went back to his loft
in the old Paris in Montmartre.
