'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.
