Moment by Moment

Where is the opportunity
to say the things I wish to say?
You are not here of course
though I pretend that you are.

I see a shadow on the wall.
It moves as the sun moves by:
movement by movement by moment;
moment by moment of movement.

The movement is the company of the moment
as I see a face that is that shadow.
It draws my attention daily.
The company of the moment of the movement.
