He tried to stay a step ahead


                of what ?

                                                                                                what was he trying to outleg  
leave in his dust  what was he throwing looks over his shoulder at
gaining on him

                         Id bet surly imaginings
anxieties 
     dark foreboding themes  nebulous flickering images  cast on screens of tattered 
spider webs
Alive
in some secret place thatll never be
never draw breaths
or breed
   
                        spectral doppelgangers 
                                                                                               who are unable to cry for loss
smile for happiness  or shrug confused 
only to chase

                      and if he flinches perhaps
to catch him

   
                          should he make it so
