behind the shadow of her nakedness
the vanishing
behind the vanishing
silence
behind the silence
cowardice
behind cowardice
the mask
behind the mask
the shattered mirror
behind broken reality
the drought of shallow tears
the frothing spate of rage
the hating flesh
behind the body of evidence
the normalization of crime
behind criminal entertainment
the smell of gnawing fear
behind the reek of fear
a fatal pretense
behind the game of ignorance
the ponderance
behind the ponderance of betrayal
the smirking clown
behind the maniacal clown the mob the gang
the orator of madness
behind the exploited value of madness
the death wish
behind collective cruelty
the culture of boredom
behind mass boredom
violence
behind the normalization of violence
the Gun
behind the pornography of weapons
the patriarch of history
behind the history of distrust
and injustice – apocalypse
behind apocalypse
a vacancy
behind empty space
shirking nothingness silence
behind the conspiracy of silence
the vanishing
behind the nihilism of vanishing
