Things Transparent

Things transparent chew my soul. shardened termites, moles of glaze crawl among cobwebby holes, an empty, see-through maze. The tender ones, they call my name. lifetime lovers, folks of class stare across the place I claimed, a fleshless looking-glass. How long until my soul is gone? And not a shadow, not of me will nicely then be called upon, to be, to be, to be.
