Girl.
I see shadows in every nook and cranny of my body
which I could--in a moment--trace with a finger
or outline with a marker if need be
But as the moment passes and the light changes
my shadows will rise and fall like the breath of a beast
until they find a patch of foreign soil in an otherwise known land
And it is there they take the form of baggy clothes and dreams I cannot fill
Or another monster on another day is the talk of beautiful bones
that I want to know but will forever remain secrets under softness
