fear of my shadow


i am no boxer and i box none
due to my fear of being injured
by my opponent’s stronger arm
and better built with lesser fault

my frailty, frailer than my grandson
a little over two years of eating and
boxing, has boxed tightly my shadow
that i fear, unlike my little boy

who is irritated by the shadow
following him, once grabbed his flag
and hit hard my wall, damaging, to kill
and destroy his own silent tracker
