--Apparition --

Rain pours outside
with uneasy percussion.
Eyelids closed,
awaiting ears

I consider the world
in darkness and silence.
Oblivious of existence,

the sudden sensation of clothing
seemed electric
as it crosses my hand.

Heavy shutters open,
and I saw
it was a vision…

Silver sashes slice the air.
Unwilling eyes
Begin to stare

Alone,
rendered helpless.
Aslave of words, I clamor

as this metamorphic radiance
masks the oblivion
that comes with daylight.
