Plus a prose poem with narration. The Shadows We Live With Click here to hear this prose poem read by the author, Rick Doble. We live with shadows all our lives, yet we rarely see them. They are odd, distorted, disfigured shapes that fold around the solid world - a world to themselves. We know that we change the memories of our dreams to be more logical, more like waking life.
Shadows are the same.
We want to make them clearer, the outlines more like what we know. But it is not like in the movies. Sometime when you have a moment look at your shadows directly as you go from a lighted area to darkness. Look at them as they move, as they remain still, as they mold themselves to the tables and rugs and doors you live with. Look at them for what they are.
