'the Long Shadow'
‘The Long Shadow’
Jenny Souter 10/07/2023
My shadow is longer than me.
Pooling my shape and stretching limbs, distorting reality.
I turn the thin paper edges up and over, frayed, like old baking parchment.
A kind of alchemy against the shadow, that is me.
We lay here together- just so-my shadow and I.
