Shadow head

He approached what has made him, he realized the shadow is real.

for a split-second he saw himself in the distance, as he got ever near

He turned his back but stood there still

spare me the light, spare me the day

He muttered to a horizon all round, with a single line that got so thin

but he gazed in vain

“Perhaps one more step, or two…”,

had lured his heels away
