If my usual shadow quits as he's been threatening to do
Since he grew proud and began casting his own shadow
Baba Yaga has promised me a new one made of smoke
Or of powdered glass and dried tea leaves but
Perhaps it'll be best for a while to just be shadowless.
Besides, the oddsmakers claim it's not unlikely
That Baba Yaga will soon be the Acting Goddess of Love
And won't have much time for shadowmaking.
A fine fool I'll look if she should send instead
An armed baby to flutter at my heels!
