The Cave

Those shadows on the cave wall, distorted, contorted, grotesque & tall, they aren’t shadows at all. Only mutated shapes; circus images permeating fluid;

another trick of a sick mind.

Don’t take it too seriously but if you listen too closely to the sounds they start to drift & float around without direction, detached from meaning.

Don’t be ashamed for acting from the purest of instincts:

fight or flight is joined by frozen fright as well; belief is necessary & to believe in what you see is so natural it almost seems like blasphemy not to just let it happen.

Those shadows on the cave wall, ,
they aren’t at all.
