shad(ow)e

will you

let me linger around you

like a shadow stuck to a man?

(silly question)

though it's not like i can detach myself

from your presence, you know

(it's pretty hard, i must say).

but what will i do anyway?

without you

i'll merely be a shade

for the rest of my life.

a wandering one

without a home.

just lost

(that would be truly tragic)

.

i am on a roll. many more drafts including prose but i don't really feel very prose-y.
in love with helena christensen right now. she is gorgeous. and there is something just so sexy about a woman dressed for the 1960's feminist movement with a cigarette in her hand. said it before but i'll say it again. just, so, sexy. not that i condone smoking but yeah.
