Your shadow changes shape while traveling, is hunched over a dune, it breaks up in the sun behind a grate, shatters on the rocks, it vibrates from a train window, it freezes, long, the tedium of a plain covered with frost. Dance on the sheet in the wind, it soars over a rock, giving sometimes bizarre angles to your profile. Seeing your shadow change, you realize that by moving never remains the same.

Your shadow changes shape on the road, hunched over a dune, it divides into the sun behind a grating, it shatters on the rocks, vibrates on a train window, it freezes, long, in the tedium of a plain covered with hoar-frost. It dances on a cloth moved by the wind, it soars over a rock, giving sometimes to your profile bizarre angles.
Seeing your shadow changing, you realize that by moving you’ll never be the same.
Seeing your shadow changing, you realize that by moving you’ll never be the same.
