the shadow’s edge

cast to the shadow’s edge
alive but unseen
my voice silenced
by an enemy within

I once walked hand in hand
with golden familiarity
loved ones always nearby
in person or metaphysically

my old world kidnapped
and held for ransom
stars within the shadow’s edge
imaginary & unblinking


march two thousand twenty-five
