Alchemy Of The Mirage

Thematic symbols atomise, scattering trace elements across a light-sensitive plate hovering between your eyes and your hands

Now in the elemental darkness alien storms shatter a mirror ball into a thousand winged fragments

Bright vision suddenly, in a trance, you can see across tracks of time – satin finish, clear droplets – alchemy of the mirage
