I'm always boxing in a shadow--
I tend to swing at traces--thrown
I seem to fight the end of things--
trying to beat what's long been done.

My feet only dance in dark--
infrared, you'll see my grace.
There, I knock out memories--
there? They punch me in the face.

There are no ropes--
there is no bell--
no one to coax me
back from hell.

Just me, dancing, on my toes--
I'm always boxing...my shadow.

Shadows are slippery
little tendrils of thought
aren't they...?
