Illusions

Poetry

Terse meshes of silk.

Delicate patterns of thread.

Ethereal, fragile, defying existence,

Like words no-one ever said.

Chimeras, deceptions,

fine wrappings of mesh.

Soft feelings against my flesh.

A thin, fine net,

surrounding my head,

made of whispers, shadows and dread.
