The Flicker

It was said, by whom we are uncertain, that shadows have names,
names whispered in Gothic tones beneath forgotten eaves,
longing to find solace in tactile memories they cannot possess.

When alone in echo-laden rooms, taste the ice-borne tendrils,
see the flickers that call on restless souls,
beckoning fragments of us—lost in eternity’s embrace.
