In the vast tracts of a wanton glance we construct empires. Monoliths of opaque dreams and elusive emotions. To be worshiped. To be given sacrifice. we kneel before it with the hope it will shepherd us forth into some greater misunderstanding.

Such are the spirits cast by an absent gesture. Phantoms to populate subconscious kingdoms. Denizens of a world that always is but can never be. All of it neatly hidden in the hearts and minds of the lonely.
