THE HIDDEN TRACK

The following passages are dedicated to Leopold, to the vernacular, to certain evil women (you know who you are), to certain wonderful people(they know who they are), to soft afternoons and quiet Sunday evenings, to Fall and seeing your breath for the first time since Spring, and to Isabelle Ya Feng ... a soul slipped by like two ships passing in the still, moonlit sea.
-- Abraham Ahmed, the Surfing Beatnik



Act 2; Enter: Leopold, Caped and Violent...




























A scoured duo of fingers pushed into the skyline and began to cut into the haze that rested above the stink of the city. They glided through and across the smog and smoke and cut a blinding wound in the canopy of grey.

“Surely you’ve no further need for downheartedness?” Said the Leopold as he considered the ivory-colors keys.

Golden pillars of oranges and yellows shot from the cut left from the worn fingertip’s passing. Summer birds struggled also through slit and announced sovereignty with we such lowly followers held here to the soil by gravity and gravity alone.
