A row of polished buttons connect and close the coat’s woollen walls. A long shade is cast from a hood, a peak, a brim. A layered lapel ties to his neck, tight and secure. The curtain of an anorak shadows the ground long and wide. And the lock of a reptilian cuff, coils rigid around his arm.
Is this the armour of the elusive hideaway? The costume of the curiously quiet? These threads, cut to fit, to flatter, are his export of escapism. These are his soldiers of external exposure, fighters for internal composure. And though tormented by both beauty and braun, his bravery is shrouded in this soulful uniform. It’s a new flesh for a future self, one quietly simmering below the surface.
