Two Shadows

Two shadows move across the ground,

Dark but hazy and unclear,

Feet bound to the same starting spot,

Each shadow ragged in its bound. 

Two shadows move across the ground,

Pulling hard to either side

One named Julia, one Edmund,

One said, mundane, one head mundified

Omitting a shrill sheer sound

Julia and Edmund

Between them raged a war

Paging four horsemen,

Coarse men who waged a war

Staging score after score unmatched. 

Unlatched door barring no attacks. 

Reacts one to the sage award

Gauged toward the dueling foes. 

Suppose they cage the war,

Engage the core of the issue. 

Wish you could assuage the war,

Disengage the corps

Between Julia and Edmund. 

Two shadows move across the ground

Begging to separate at last

This clash between identity

Sent to me meant to be passed

When a fix they found.

What if this fix is never found

And all the worries just compound

As these two shadows move across the ground?
