[poem]

Shadow (n.): the dark place when a light is cast; obscurity; an attenuated form; the unconscious; the unbearable; what must find light to grow; where you go when your parents growl at one another in the night; what you've hidden from yourself; your human form; your earthly sins; the one who seeks Shado; the one who is sought by her; an inseparable companion; one who shadows; and when they come face to face, the light reaches beyond its domain and the arrow hits through the heart.

[poems]

Shado (n.): a Kyudo master; the captive of her father's history; the one who teaches you to hit your mark (to miss your mark is to sin, hamartia); the one who leads you through purgatory; the one who was conceived in your childhood; your lover on the way from where you began to where you will end; a voice in your memory's museum; an ideal; an idealization; a force of sight; a force that blinds you to the human in front of you; a force that brings you to your knees; the good in you; the vision you've had of responding rightly; the one you meet when you see the woman as she is, a real human being. 

Shadow (n.): the dark place when a light is cast; obscurity; an attenuated form; the unconscious; the unbearable; what must find light to grow; where you go when your parents growl at one another in the night; what you've hidden from yourself; your human form; your earthly sins; the one who seeks Shado; the one who is sought by her; an inseparable companion; one who shadows; and when they come face to face, the light reaches beyond its domain and the arrow hits through the heart.

Shado[w]

Dear Listener, 

On October 10th, I released Shado[w], as one continuous track. To address the limitations of a one-track EP, this edition presents each track individually. 

I hope that both serve you well. 

All the best, 
Daoure Diongue
