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
sat upon a rock in Montségur:
his shadow rushed back to his lofty
mansarde in the old Paris.
