What a relief it is to realize
I don't have to direct the pieces,
I don't need
to make things come together
or even figure out what needs fixing
My shadow was smiling as it walked
in the evening sun, down to the cabin -
I could tell by the bounce in its gait -
it, too, must be relieved
not to have to determine
where it's going - to simply glide
through the dapples and into shade.
