UNFINISHED PAINTING by Keelan Thør Stewart, March 2018
We have never been alone.
The mara, the faerie, the Djinn.
The Horla, imps, the gnomes.
The pixies, dryads, naiads, the sylphs.
Demons, banshee, the Sidhe.
Selkie, fetch, wraiths.
Ghosts, haunts, specters.
Tulpa, dao sho, ka.
Grays, insectoids, reptilians.
Apparitions, manifestations, presences.
All the unseen, the denied, the glimpsed in shadow.
We have never been alone.

Is there a beginning
Not chosen by preference?
Is there an end
Not determined by convenience?
Tale-tellers select frames
So their stories exist.
Memories are flagstones
Set into time’s mud.
Existence is plucked
From reality’s flux and flow.
