One sunny aftr’noon I chose
To stroll upon the sound
When suddenly I glimpsed ahead
And saw, me, on the ground
This vaguest doppelganger mimick’d
Ev’ry move I made
It spun upon the sand and whirl’d
As I turn’d away
Than standing still, I crook’d my head
And look’d behind in shock
I saw my mimic laying there
As wrought and real as rock
But as the sun began to sink
And moon commenc’d to rise
My companion stretch’d as on
A rack, before my very eyes
I slep’t upon the beach that night
Awaiting its return
And awoke to feel the sand against
My face begin to burn
Still half asleep, I stumbled to
The bay to wash my eyes
And while splashing water on my head
I view’d to my surprise
My shadow spread across the sand
And glinting smoothen’d stone
Now in days of solitude
I know I’m not alone
