          As my appearance--seen invisible,
          what more my disappearance?
          in the midst of everyday's
          that pass with no science,
          no absence of the presents
          of the vanity among wise,
          of the confidence among stupids
          and the lunacy of my lies;

          drifted by the wind,
          buried by the ashes
          of these fires I started
          like a cyclone that washes;
          only silent, unseen;
          for in secrets I seem
          to be valued by mine
          despite endings and fiends;

          but still compounded and touched,
          sometimes scratches and throws
          unto someone who's not
          believed by the most;
          am I some walking shame,
          or a mirrored, slipping ghost?
          only to perch by the nights
          but hunted when I showed;

          'thought invisible was I;
          but in secrets I breathe
          to not trigger their fixations
          of my musings I heed;
          though nowhere's an escape
          but my recluse poetry,
          in my eyes so invisible
          unless death be my diary.
