I want to conquer love. I want to take it down. Down to the river to pray - Pray for the race of men. In a masculine society where do I stand effeminate as such - no two flowers touch except at stem, and intertwining roots lay under earth with reason. Reason me to believe there is no question. For questioning the authority of men leads down no roads. Roads are not the only paths to take. Here, a place without horizons, lit by amber, shadows fall elongated and still against the ground. There are no roads here. Here, thoughts echo and in their nature rebound off these cliff walls. Here, you are the only one standing, enduring your own constant bombardment. Stop thinking - to think is to detest the calm. Calm is the sublime. The constant quiet of nothingness. Nothingness is a fearful expanse.

In a Moment, Sublime
I want to conquer love. I want to take it down. Down to the river to pray - Pray for the race of men. In a masculine society where do I stand effeminate as such - no two flowers touch except at stem, and intertwining roots lay under earth with reason. Reason me to believe there is no question. For questioning the authority of men leads down no roads. Roads are not the only paths to take. Here, a place without horizons, lit by amber, shadows fall elongated and still against the ground. There are no roads here. Here, thoughts echo and in their nature rebound off these cliff walls. Here, you are the only one standing, enduring your own constant bombardment. Stop thinking - to think is to detest the calm. Calm is the sublime. The constant quiet of nothingness. Nothingness is a fearful expanse.
