your shadow

your shadow
is taking the day
off.
it's raining,
so he won't be
needed.
you let him
sleep in.
his head on
the pillow where
you were
last night.
but he can't sleep
and soon
finds you sitting
outside
under an umbrella.
what if the
sun comes out,
he says. attaching
himself
back to your foot.
you'll need
me. you'll always
need me.
