Irene,
Pardon if I may say that it looks like a Buddhist classic poetry to me.
----The word for noon in Hebrew, tzohorayim, is plural.
"Afternoon" means more than "noon" ; it's an expanse of time. And the dual would fit in with the rabbinic explanation: As the sun moves in the afternoon, one sees shadows first on the west and then on the east---two positions for shadows (plus the incremental positions in-between).
regards,

"form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form; emptiness does
not differ from form, form does not differ
from emptiness; whatever is form, that is emptiness, whatever is
emptiness, that is form, the same is true of
feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness.
----from the Heart Sutra----
