Penumbra

slipping medially
the shaded arc
neither here nor when
civilized nor friend
aching difference
permits no roots to ground

Watch
Wache
bewaken

sharing ultra ambit acreage
with huldra, gawi and gnomes,
gross whispered tulpa
passing, undiscovered

watch but neer be seen
see but neer engage
join but neer enter

forsake nimbled catwalk
tween umbra and glow,
those long obscured driftings
through time's aurora,
all sentient assemblages
deflected, abstained

No alliance or taction sought
depth of ingress fleeting craved
penumbra's yearnings yield
