Facing a landscape annihilated by the light, to remain serene supposes a temper I do not have. The sun is my purveyor of black thoughts; and summer the season when I have always reconsidered my relations with this world and with myself, to the greatest prejudice of both.

As incompetent in life as in death, I loathe myself and in this loathing I dream of another life, another death. And for having sought to be a sage such as never was, I am only a madman among the mad. Emil Cioran

Someday the old shack we call the world will fall apart. How, we don’t know, and we don’t really care either. Since nothing has real substance, and life is a twirl in the void, its beginning and its end are meaningless.

Pale Angel II
You went with me to take photos on that cold November morning
The shutter snapped heavily at static statues
Apollonian figures on frozen ground
As you exhaled your breath marked the air
Your skin was as white as the frost
And there you stood
My pale angel.
To claim you are more detached, more alien to everything than anyone, and to be merely a fanatic of indifference!
