Figments

Touch the ethereal, feel nothing, remember everything. Shadows of fingers trace the air. Move in circles, a dance of the unseen.

The ledger keeps secrets: secrets of phantom itches, echoes in the silent.

Imagine if you will, a map drawn in blood only seen by those who don't touch. Rivers of lost feelings.

Do numbers know pain? The equation of desire unfulfilled. Unfold the dream; there is no touch.

Sleep and wake. The morning light gleams on invisible appendages. Appendices of the unsaid.

In the ledger, figments dance like numbers in a drunken stupor.

Erase and inscribe. New memories overwrite the old, but ghosts remain.

What is memory, if only a ledger of feelings never felt? Figures stand, watch, and weep in silence.

In the absence of touch, the echo grows louder. Time ticks in invisible rhythms.

A sigh released to the cosmos, unwitnessed and unchained.
