The Transparency of Selves

The Transparency of Selves. Transparently unseen, lonely souls walking on, slipping between raindrops, curling between folds of reality, twisting in dreary, worn-out skins. Moulting, peeling off, discarding, worn-down corpses edging towards, whistling crowds of leering stares, wasted on insipid momentary sighs, where collective consciences lay mute. Opaque words flounder, seeking, begging, wooden excuses swept up in dusty screams, bellowing unspoken profanities in solitude, sweltering amongst boneless patriarchs, where impotence teeters on the brink of reason. Rivers of unreason roll on, ceaselessly, watering the sordid thoughts and empty voices, filtering out warmth and empathy, drilling, deeper into a callousness that embraces, coddles, nourishing nothing but putrid decay.
