All there is, is fragments, because a man, even the loneliest of the species, is divided among several persons, animals, worlds.

Coleman Dowell

Funneled spouts of premonition
sweeping nuances in motion
Forecasts in magic cognition
The proof of truth a bitter potion

---

Decisions are commitments to predictions of the future

---

Faustian      fragments
Conjured       playthings
Temporal       favourites 
Mastery       revealed 

---

The darkness of a hooded figure
The dust in my neighbour’s eye
The centre of a swirling enigma
The place where men come to die

---

There are any number of futures but only one past

---

Cushion and needle
The thread will need

To bleed and end well
Feel the fabric plead

---

I have come to the woods to lie in wait
Carrying the body against my breast
I bow down with the bluebell’s fine tendrils
Seeking where the night winds find rest

---

A silent stranger
Devoid of fear
I step back
