an anthracite die? and what state is that floating between them? or is it an

molding silhouette? Aah but we're looking outside.. it flips until you notice
the shade-string
and the fat hinge? Maybe she's just had a bad zit or something though, or got
bit by a hobo spider..
she looks just like an opera singing student I once knew. an apparition,

of a young woman perfectly framed by the studio doorway
suddenly, staring at the image with which i possessed her
i noticed ... nothing more or less than the mark upon her
hours i labored ... hours ...
until i brought to the surface what had remained hidden
until i uncovered her very soul
the square on the face of the very young woman
the square on the face of the woman ...
