The Boy Who Dances With Shadows

The Boy Who Dances With Shadows
By David Avila

let’s dance in their shadows tonight
moving grooving fluidly pulsing

breaking open

I don't see what they see
what they see is in them
lit up by the light of their own consciousness

falling about

do they know where to look
when they do a split second has passed
smoke amidst the river
returning to a home that doesn't see me

yet

dreaming of death
death
death defying feats

for when they shine their light
here the shadow's will have gone away
and the boy who dances with shadows knows
he knows
oh he knows how lost one can get
