when the shadow catches up with you
and nips at your heels at every turn
don't try to hold your breath until it dissipates
it feeds on the vacuum left behind
when peace of mind evacuates
search out instead a spot of light
a pinprick a smidgeon a bit a blot
keep your right toe steady on the mark
breathe deep and drag it with you
inch by inch step by step out of the dark
