just lift the edge
if you would like
the shadow’s edge
grasp it gingerly
with the fingertips
slowly
lift and peek beneath
to see what lies under
another world perhaps-
or nothing
impossible you say
but not if there is
wonder
imagination
vision
for mystery and life
keep secrets
if no oneever tries
and yet you may do so
by thinking it through
for where there is shadow
reality
where substance
shadow
attests to what exists
good evidence
not to be denied
