Is the shadow you cast from the sun
the same
as that
sent flooding from the moon?

A man can lose his mind in under a minute
from a lifetime
of non-locality and shadows
become his heroes.

He saw the space inside people,
The vast airs within atoms,
The insubstantial chasm 
Between electrons
Like flying deserts in tiny skies
And he thought himself into oblivion.

We are the monsters that hide 
beneath the bed,
the phantoms in the woods

We are the reason ghosts
and gods 
leave the light on. 

We are the dim outline imitating
beings we cannot imagine
as they slink in their way
under many unthinkable suns
followed by us, dark emptiness.
