Harrison Chiu
I followed him, a shadow
and Master
Up the limb, high over
the bank
Climbing behind, always
behind
In every contest, behind
him
Come out a little way,
said he
And we’ll jump side by
side
I know I dragged you
away,
But I can’t come, by
myself
Will we go together?
I started to speak
But something held me
back
The truth, perhaps, the
damned truth
Voices, in my head,
whispering
You are not the same
quality as him
I am not the same quality
as him
You are equal in enmity
We are equal in enmity
No, not even equal in
that
Behind, always behind
No justification, no
sustaining thoughts
I couldn’t stand this
I, the shadow, jounced
the limb
And watched another
shadow fall
Something overcame me,
yes
That was it!
It wasn’t me, no
That couldn’t be it
Could it?
