AFTERWARD

 

The shadows had been sent to forage so when

They returned at dusk there is no one

To greet them. They consider the evidence:

A torn newspaper; a broken violin;

A tight-corked bottle, a slosh of light trapped inside.

Cats emerge; the shadows feed them 

And then draw lots to determine

Who must start pretending to be people
