print advertisements glued to poles and light fixtures, craving for attention; nobody looks at the sun, but only find their way by winding around elongated shadows. we converse best in the dark: our handwriting legible without sight. veins pulsate, nerves euphoric with every brushing confluence; plucking bruises that surface like lilac blossoms on the terra firma of skin. cold filament passes the incumbency of illumination to the bona fide sun. we bear each other’s signature into the day, together with the last memory of doors closing with us on opposite sides.

the prelude to nothing
print advertisements glued to poles and light fixtures, craving for attention; nobody looks at the sun, but only find their way by winding around elongated shadows. we converse best in the dark: our handwriting legible without sight. veins pulsate, nerves euphoric with every brushing confluence; plucking bruises that surface like lilac blossoms on the terra firma of skin. cold filament passes the incumbency of illumination to the bona fide sun. we bear each other’s signature into the day, together with the last memory of doors closing with us on opposite sides.
