Dan Williams

Blurry Shadows

everyday wishing for a Solomon

wanting any way David, not goliath

instead stumbling over hastily drawn lines

secure in little except godlessness

 

adversary nameless

prize indistinct

hastily thrown up defenses

hunkering under the fusillade

 

blurry shadows

unaffected by sunlight

unconnected to feet

follow just the same

 

spurious movements

undetected by even close observation

unadjusted for momentum

catch me off guard

 

weakened by adversity

pitiful by comparison to my foes

losing all twelve rounds again

yet still standing
