The wall is our world,
The shadow is the sun
We cannot not feel.

The wall is the people we know,
The shadow is our feelings
About them.

The wall is our hearts,
The shadow is the distance
Between them.

The wall is the truth,
The shadow is what we say
About our lives.

The wall is your lips,
The shadow is your breath
Flowing between them.

The wall is the total
Of our experience,
The shadow is my memories of you.

The wall is my body,
The shadow is the dust
It will become.
