Avoid mirrors

Avoid mirrors

Cover up

Go out

After midnight

To take the air

Glide in shadow

Be a

Vampire

Say very little

Whisper if you can

Adopt a persona

Designed for

Longevity

Make it work

For you

Let your

True thoughts race

Set them free

See how far they run

As fast

As they ever were

Making connections

Creating meaning

Combusting

Spontaneously

Illuminating silhouettes.

In the bloom

Of moonlight,

Down wind

Of a crematorium

You are ageless.
