Note to Anne: that fundamental opacity also refers to the place where the living spirit resides deep inside a cave
Note that the word 'mute' is regarded by linguists as an onomatopoeic formation referring not to silence but to a certain fundamental opacity of human being, which likes to show the truth by allowing to be seen hiding.

One day the shadows
and trees agreed to trade place
Much confusion ensued
No one could be sure
Which one was which

What day breaks is darkness
But night always repairs itself
not really #haiku nor an #aphorism
