Microsporum

 

to live in the shadows
you have to be addicted to the light
you need to own a vessel
of energy that takes your body
from one end of the universe to the other.

live in the shadows
is knowing where to hang the mirrors,
your self portraits,
out of focus
away from the torches,
from the candles, from the lamps.

live in the shadows
is to keep the creature
inside a soundproof room
is not listening to the words of the creator
is to forget the rhythm of the soul's beating.

live in the shadows
is to have a scrumptious flavor on your skin
from the petals of the magnolias...
and morning petrichor
on the brain membranes.
