Whispering

 

Like ghosts of reality

 The poet lives the allegory of whispering images
Knowing the harsher the voice
The less one hears
The longer the eye dwells
The less one sees

Love this one. You nailed it. "The allegory of whispering images" indeed. Indeed the poet sees without seeing and hears without hearing. A perfect example of "less is more".

A lot of wisdom in those last four lines.
