Silhouette in Silence

Scattered leafs
as dry breadcrumbs
are stirring
and Whispering;
ghosts move in
freedom, being
trespassed by
the Augured.

Also for Sir. Jorge Loui Borges whose gambit of the poem as an
aesthetic artifact, advocated the concreteness of the image, extreme
parsimony of verbiage as a mode of conveyance.
