Our Man in Europe/BELIZE: Dave Delacroix: "WE R our Shadow..."

  Our Man in Europe/BELIZE, dave delacroix: "WE R OUR Shadow."

We R OUR Shadow, our existential 2nd-guess, I frown, U grin, I lost my tuxedo but YOU in YOUR crystal-art-deco damask splendour, defying tomorrow-s pyschic El Dorado/will worrie me; I have NO shadow; I was educated to achieve a SHOUT, but not a SCREAM? Dressed to kill? A Sonnet!

WE are OUR Shadow...that Concubine, a silhoute to our bravado, loyal encumbent, that living skeletal coil which we drive with blood, muscle, nerves and sometimes STEEL to issue a KISS, a transmutation HENCE our Shadow. Our death or victory lies in its exultation?

You and all your bloodlines laid bare. If U step into the light? Wise men, all dead, as I step into tomorrow-s Uniform, my shadow in obeyance.
