among the forlorn, the battered figures of yesteryear hectically float just above the dew-soaked earth, swept by the wind toward an object mysteriously shrouded in light.
possibly the object is a place, another figure, or merely a projection of the subconscious.
possibly this unknown magnetic force has no meaning whatsoever,
possibly it contains the truth of life.
possibly a portal to another life, that delivers with it another death.
possibly the sweetest of fruits humanity could dream of sinking their teeth into.
possibly the assuring words of a mother, to not be afraid.
possibly the frigid, wordless embrace of lost love.
possibly the source of universal fate.
the bed of solace, off the edge of the gorge of despair / the intricate wiring of an obsession / a window through which the light breaks into thousands of soft fingers, caressing every inch of the body to ecstasy /
a door, behind which lies a dim chamber, the walls damp with the screams of the maimed.
the weary, callous-footed travellers of this realm, both the invited and the occasional passer-by, dare not wet their fingers in the rays / the sight alone blinds the human eye, blisters the roughest of skin, erodes
the most solemn of faces, pierces the most solid of hearts, wrestles the sharpest of minds / neither the damned nor the righteous are granted entrance in death, the ultimate sacrifice for knowledge,
consolation and love.
lifting the veil means hauling the burden of time, the burden of a species.
