mirror reflection of shadows of sunlight through a slat blind fall at an angle across a white wall

shadow cancers persist they neglect light lines

but there are lanes of light and not ambiguous

if but for minutes

run again run light animal run

look neither up the wall nor down

be careful at the turn there is only one turn then

sprint to arcadia

when you arrive don’t appear out of breath

you’ll be in the calm of light

or night

and I’ll be waiting
