Shade

rectangles
over under
and inside of
other rectangles
this shade and that
smooth textured and
rough looking like stone
revelations in bright sunlight
of idiosyncrasies and imperfections
save any of those in the shadow
of the one that got in the way
of the sun on this bright day
hiding in the darkness or
waiting for the sunlight
to return tomorrow
and illuminate
their reality
