Long Shadows
How upon how these long shadows
Insidiously fan out and weave
Between dappled pools of light and
Which seem to seize and steal
Our staccato breaths away
Before our very eyes it seems
And simultaneously so although
In different ways we bleed
Then on reflection
I remember oh so well indeed
With every single thrust and heave
She made redundant muscles ache
And quenched the thirst of a
Very thirsty man in need
