Flicker


Softness

Estrangement

Salty dampness

He longs to lose something


He sinks into the silence of a beach

encircled by pink billboards and whirring machines.


Jawline

Spine

Fingers

He longs to grasp something


Descending a right-angled cliff

slick with moss

he catches hold of a supple branch


In his eyes

In his smile

In his silence

Something is hidden


Unseen


He is an elf who is always waiting for something

Waiting for the lonely rainbow to appear in the flashing white


The mechanical sound of the dawn

The sneaky sunshine

The signal that ends the wandering


Might this mist become the secret code of mankind?
