Mute Screens

A light blinks on
Only no one is there
An ephemeral static :::blinking of optical stimuli
In the iris reflecting stacatto images in the brain
Someone is there, is there no one there
Groups of ghosts weaving in around and through
Forests of waving shadows mute shouts in dry dusk
Retreat to within alone in a dark room
Screaming blank names like oaths to fallen gods
Repeat until hoarse then mute the screen
A light blinks on...
