I shall not grow old, into decrepit loneliness; nor the thousand plagues upon the way. I shall not become the bed-ridden ghost; of hopes and wishes, now no more than sediment. Boredom will not be given the chance to tick my life from between the seconds: I would rather die. Because I know what I [...]

Night seeps in like a secret through the bones, and we begin to resemble the detested: there’s no sequel to this understanding, no apology, or proud assertion accepted.

Tell me a story of love fulfilled; the feudal lord and peasants, friends; over the distant fields, there animals run from the patchwork land: into other territory they do not comprehend, leads to their slaughter and final destiny They do not have to travel to find glory, nor seek refuge in their different stories where [...]

You look endlessly and forever, to find that father who abdicated his paternal duties; an absence hollow as the cancer on which you feed, and destroy yourself: both victim, and perpetrator of the deed Naturally, I am hidden behind that net of negativity; each stigma of attachment creates sympathy, a sweet bleed from those who [...]
