Phantasmagoria Redefined MAG
December 31, 2013
A flicker of orange-flecked yellow,
smoke swirling around the
fringes of hot vapor
twisting imagination, a haze
a mirage, a surge of sultry
wind. A drop of sweat on the brows
of convoluted figurines of wisp
spiraling into impalpability
evaporating
entangling with swift gasps, and
quivering lips
a breath of brief drizzle, masqueraded
by orphan echoes
of stricken chords resonating with
anguish
on linens
shadows
swaying into obscurity:
a scream, a shudder and then
silence
the end
