Allusion

Phantom reflection a flickering image of intangible self Neither here nor there an undetected presence dwelling in shadows Neither in nor out of this worldly existence a fleeting remnant An apparition in a deepening twilight without remembrance

Please, reveal this phantom ghost. Metaphorically speaking, the real person exists in a veiled cloak. The fleshly verneer masks the true self. I enjoyed your existential discourse.
