#magritte
A hot air balloon hung motionless in the sky, we stepped out of the vintage car by some inventory on the cobblestones behind us, my older self stood on the iron bridge watching how we and the dog looked around in the new world which rose half-dreamed, half in brick from the mist of the old Belgian land beneath the clouds of time and the threat of the wind that will blow away everything dear to us

The new world
I close my eyes, and I am a tree; I close my eyes and I ride, pedaling, arms stretched out like a bird in flight, like dandelions towards the sun. Above me, leaves rustle, stars chime, chorusing with the hum of high-voltage lines. The world is blue like Magritte's September. I close my eyes, and time flows like a stream, emerging from an ancient riverbed. Perhaps that's why my pace, as I move through the grove of youth is so strange - because time exists for me for two months a year. Questions that have no answers. Do questions have answers, really? Every answer seems fictitious. Life is a relationship with a pathological liar, and if you're lucky, he doesn't abuse you further. I'm cycling downhill, crickets in the bushes warming themselves by rubbing legs together. It's warm and dry, but the air is cool and wet - like a compress on a bruised knee. I tend to keep hitting my head.

Magritte's September
the light is raging, colours are hiding when we hide our hearts full of dusk we are mercenaries of ensoulment listening to this manic-depressive couple, power and helplessness, makes one wanna scream: darkness is vulnerable too clockwise the mind in action flows looking for its anti-time, our actions can stand as tall us anticlockwise is a flow into the trance of the unknown into foreign bodies full of the tension of keeping the light apart from day Magritte is dreaming his hat, Freud his pipe The Empire of Light perhaps Ceci est une pipe, a vital voyeurism, the pleasure of stirring up so many levels to listen for their hidden symbols we are antiparticles for each other, when we collide reality starts screaming for each soul to witness but a homeless pain possesses our dreams unable to recognize the ********** of caring too tired for rage, I am only wondering where to find the necessary love for this fiery world I ask the trees, the birds, the mind of the wind, I'll pray for them to teach me their grace
