Trace the Shadows

Notes from the Phantom Echo

unbidden, I walk through an echo, a faint murmur, shadow on the wall reminiscent of lost arms. Counting fingers:
* three - touches whisper against skin I cannot feel anymore

remembering atrophy - these walls remember you faster than I could,
where does the lonesome limb yearn for travel? Updates from an absent reader.

benches carved with eternal tomorrows

tumble along cracked papers - vapor trails of clumsy letters. Invisible ink: read with the
mind's fractured visibility. Lies - but celebrated lies, or resigned truths?

perhaps I'm a false historian, capturing whispers from others without realizing their sombra,
shadows speak yet only fetch muted hypotheses about the grasp lost.
