some feeble tunes the ears catch
hushed dialogues overheard
in the shadows a lighted patch
windborne caught one word
you they haunt daylong chase
nibble your thoughts and tease
not revealed from greyish haze
yet keep your mind in leash!
what are they you wonder aloud
shadows in wispy outline
all those naggers hidden in shroud
you feel but can't define
day and night they gnaw inside
a lump of mass sans sense
drag you low climb you tide
fly you unseen distance!
with them within life you roam
spelled in all you do
why your mind they make their home
you haven't the slightest clue
only a few you can hold in hands
purge with the flows of ink
most them die stillborn strands
find a depth to quietly sink!
