Footfall, Alongside
On an afternoon when sunlight settles to the end of the yard, a dog walks slower than its own shadow.
I saw the shadow cross first, and the dog follow behind.

A bug was crawling through the gap in the stone wall, and even that bug was moving slower than its own shadow.
Breeze
The dog in the yard stands with its tail lowered, then slowly turns its head to follow a single leaf running in the wind.
Late Frost
The afternoon sunlight spreads across the yard, reaching right up to my feet. A dog walks in step with my shadow, stretched long across the asphalt. That shadow looked its longest before evening came.
Alight
The cat I saw in the yard today paused for a moment, unable to match its steps with my shadow.
Shimmer
Sitting where the yard is split between shade and sun, I walk the shadow paths again and again before evening comes.

It was an afternoon when shadows stretched long on the sun-warmed cement. Following the shadow's end, a cat sat across the road.

I saw a shadow enter the shade before reaching the end of the yard. When the days grow longer, I slowly follow it from the window.
