White shades


 Shades create the shapes...



Yanis Ritsos
"The shadows of birds"

35.
The shadow of your body
upon the earth
takes up more room
than your body
I dress in your shadow
dark invisible
photographic negative—
tomorrow it will appear
all in white
with a black fingerprint
outside the frame.
