Silk spun silhouettes
fake and fawn from dusk 'til dawn~
mid afternoon sun
unravels the real creatures.

This is a short piece but as striking as the other entries. I like the logic and the afterthoughts illustrated here.
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful piece. I wish you all the best in the contest. Keep writing my friend.
