Shadow play

“Pulvis et umbra sumus”

It's said we live like shadows
on a screen. Mesmerised.

Dark, flat forms
skin grafted

shape shifters
night crawlers
dancing, prancing
to a hedonistic tune

Unseeing
never pondering a source

the switch is flicked
the curtain's torn
and we are nothing more

just dusty shrouds
