Shadows on my mind In purple images play Echoes of words Shimmering, silhouettic Seductions, Hideous Perhaps, contagious Falseness as if in fatigue Indiscriminate, without Compromise in their counterfeit Lying in wait in eager ambush Hidden by a thought A thin antiquated distraction A solitary mutilation of identity Deflecting interest in amplified displacement Into delirious disguise, re-emerging in distraction Pestering, problematic, destabilising directness In their ubiquitous imaginary lie A realisation that one is all too aware of Yet despite this knowledge cannot help But conspire in their captivating complicity.

The Words
Shadows on my mind In purple images play Echoes of words Shimmering, silhouettic Seductions, Hideous Perhaps, contagious Falseness as if in fatigue Indiscriminate, without Compromise in their counterfeit Lying in wait in eager ambush Hidden by a thought A thin antiquated distraction A solitary mutilation of identity Deflecting interest in amplified displacement Into delirious disguise, re-emerging in distraction Pestering, problematic, destabilising directness In their ubiquitous imaginary lie A realisation that one is all too aware of Yet despite this knowledge cannot help But conspire in their captivating complicity.
