Didn't have to dream to be visited by ghosts . . . Demons haunt whether wide awake, asleep, unconscious or terribly aware . . . Apparitions knaw at the sides of memories . . . Spit and shout at traces with angry mutterings in broad daylight . . . Don't see spectres?

It takes training to keep phantoms alive . . . Rage dream . . . The culture of bruising breaking the will . . . Compelling ancient & modern pummelling . . . Spook pugilism in one minute nineteen seconds . . . Blood and gore . . .

Hurt?

See it in the eyes . . . Raw rhythms of destruction and war . . . Elemental, visceral drama experienced at the illegal edge of death . . . Alive unravelling outlaw perception . . . Face bleeding mortality.

Caught me cold.

Seeing the black light.
