Self portrait - as a wraith from the wintry wood,
a headless spook, a sinister smudge
in a striped bathrobe with an empty hood.
Watch out for the wraith from the wintry wood
whose diaphonous soul harbours a grudge,
like a borrowed landscape's fake verismilitude.
Fervent but frail  - the wraith in the wood,
the headless spook, the fear you can't budge.
