how thin the veil
between here and gone
and what will be the final breath
the beckoning breeze
the courier gust
to part that curtain
to lift
and carry me ← → through
to where
to what
I do [...]

Specter
•
child of tragedy
touched by death
entangled in melancholy
clouded by sorrows
that shadow
your garden of dreams
