Offset by Shadow (Colin)

Walking on the underside 
Of a question never asked 
Angles flicker, time divides 
In patterns made to mask

Glass in the socket, 
Voice in the floor 
Distance rehearsed 
In the blink before

Offset by shadow, 
Aligned by mistake 
Meaning floats sideways 
Through every opaque 
Offset by shadow 
You couldn’t translate 
The mirror was empty 
But held all your weight

A gesture left mid-air 
Not fallen, not caught 
A signal refused 
By the silence it brought

Pale automation 
Smiles on delay 
The blink of the building 
Keeps looking away

Offset by shadow, 
A fracture in tune 
A calendar breathing 
Behind the monsoon 
Offset by shadow 
No centre, no gate 
A whisper designed 
To arrive too late

Static at corners 
Maps with no ground 
Echoes on furlough 
Ideas unbound

So draw with the eraser 
Speak with the blur 
Name it tomorrow 
Then make it occur

Offset by shadow 
And left in the blur—
