After the Chase

A hallway – a reckoning – a black beacon

Spirits with white, ghost cloaks swim in the black sky.

A shadowy figure consumed a white – outline -

It lives or what’s close to it – inside the gelatinous envelope.

It is quite satisfied to stay exactly where it is on the landscape.

An eye – a giant’s plaintive eye casts its own mark on the desert floor.

White fingers trace where the sky should be – where the earth should be -

Where the everything needs to be – but a white core in the distance -

Discarded by a giant unicorn who slunk too,

In the shadows to wear it -

To past it back on after

The chase.
