Shadows aren't visible at night, They are pure absence, if we read aright, Nothingness made visible as shade. Shadows aren't visible at night. Their temporary presence here is slight -- A cloud floats by, and they abruptly fade. Ironically, to be they must have light. They diminish and then lengthen as the bright Sun rises and then sets, to slumber laid. Shadows aren't visible at night. Sometimes they are vivid black-on-white, Our avatars on stuccoed walls displayed. Ironically, to be they must have light. Eternal Being, to which all else is trite, What life have they, upon your shores arrayed? Shadows aren't visible at night. Ironically, to be they must have light. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
