The Second Shift

Passionate about the Second Lives of People and Objects

December 1, 2016

Passing Through

by Rosemary King


Winter light slants deeply 

Shining golden outlines of people's hurried frames, past flower stands stuffed with pine

Casting clear lines of a larger self in front of you

So you follow your shadow, since it looks so solid.  More following than leading

until the cold reaches deep enough in your skin to remind that you are the conscious one

and you breath in crisp air sharply

Feeling it in your expanding lungs, the cold shocks you a bit

and you breath again, for good measure 

Watching your breath come out in a satisfying cloud 

Against the blazing afternoon light of early December
