Field guide No. 1257
White goat’s private eclipse
Its shadow went elsewhere.
A white goat stands on dry ground while two long black shadow legs stretch from its head to the dirt, apart from its own shadow. Its shadow is being sent in two directions.
Field noteTwo black shadow legs run from the goat’s head, apart from its shadow. Shadows follow light, not instruction.
