Shadows

silhouetted shapes
avert eyes
change shape
throw pointers
to different directions


never let me know
what lies behind
conniving fingers
misleading signals
proclaimed intent




It takes a while
to cut through
their pervasive presence
but it’s only smoke
which I overestimated 


Finally, I breathe
in clarity
knowing that roads ahead
are lonesome
but all mine to conquer
