shining light gave birth to shadow,
and consequently the kingdom of
men and meadow, but not of sea.
shadow learned to project what
we know as stars, where the kings
of men lay on their backs to watch,
and meadows blew back in the breeze.
of sea did shadow want to know,
as it was entombed with her sisters.
shining light thought it no matter,
so shadow climbed into the water
to bring on sweet evening, eternally.
