The Arcane Ensconced by Togashi Ni

There are secrets all around us, but the question is, "Do you know where to look?"
Ghost in the Machine
I am a secret, left here by someone who wanted to surprise you.. a ghost in the machine! THE ONLY ghost I ever saw Was dressed in mechlin,—so; He wore no sandal on his foot, And stepped like flakes of snow. His gait was soundless, like the bird, But rapid, like the roe; His fashions quaint, mosaic, Or, haply, SF0.

Yes, I admit Emily Dickenson was my muse. The analogy to her ghost, and the ghost in the machine was my goal.
His conversation seldom,
His laughter like the breeze
That dies away in dimples
Among the pensive trees.
Our interview was transient,--
Of me, himself was shy;
And the singular omnipotent being in theistic and deistic religions (and other belief systems) forbid I look behind
Since that appalling day!
