Find
the
doubled
darkness
where
two
shadows
meet
.
See
.
Love
is
not
light
,
but
the
deepest
shade
.
In
the
summer
my
edges
curl
like
a
heat
-blighted hosta,
sun
-singed
and
crumbling
.
On
the
sidewalk
: cepaea_nemoralis.
I
tap
your
shell
twice
so
you
’ll
sever
your
grip
on
the
sidewalk
.
I
don’t
want
to
harm
you
with
all
my
good
intentions
.
When
you
find
the
safety
of
your
shell
I
move
you
from
the
beaten
path
to
the
leafy
edge
of
a
garden
and
watch
you
touch
your
face
to
the
damp
underside
of
the
day
.
Let_my_shadow_be_your_shade
.
Rest
here
awhile
.
There
’s
more
than
enough
fire
to
melt
us
back
to
the
Miocene.
Let
us
linger
in
the
crescents
of
an
eclipse
-bitten
star
.
Find
me
in
the
place
the
light
leaves
.
