IN ATTENDANCE

 

The shadow quietly walking behind me 

I found carefully folded  -- left behind

As a debt-pledge and then forgotten. 

I use it when I'm trying to look important;

It's the sort of shadow who knows five languages

Or how to quell thunderstorms with gestures 

And the rattle of coins in a silver box.
