the man of shadows thinks in clay

dreamed trapped thoughts of suffocation day

he's seen in iron environments

with plastic sweat out of chiselled slits for eyes



from the growth underneath the closed mouth

you'll catch if you listen

rack trapped cubist vowels

from a dummy head expression

from a dummy head expression



the transformation is invested

with the mysterious and the shameful

while the thing i am becomes something else

part character part sensation



the shadow is cast

etc..
