Penumbra
Shadows don't have lines
Much defined
They shift and twine
Words, meaning assign
Shifting systems align
We know not for which we pine
To change, we must fix in place
A point at which to start the race
A dotted line we can trace
So easy, when we can face
Shorthanded, our lives pace
An upper hand, just in lower case
Slight seconds, in frozen frame rate
And realization comes much too late
For our lonely appetites to sate
Seems like the very earth stands still
As long as we mayflies dance - until
(Would that we still had time to kill)
Pompeii erupts, and ashes fill
Open mouths, under silent hill
