Fading traces

Vanish in ablation

A flickering glimpse

Hallmarks alienation

Sudden apparitions

Play tricks on the inner eye

The scent of perception

A delusion to defy

Mystified reminiscence

Retrospections arcane

A pondering silence

In a dwelling orphaned

A shuffling soul

Trudging through anemic days

Evanescence of the common ground

Squires catatonic forays

The haunting incertitude

Indicates the dread

You could just be away for a while

But you could as well be dead
