We Must Sleep

“There is fear hanging in the air of the sleeping halls, and the air of the streets. Fear walks through the city, fear without name, without shape. All men feel it and none dare speak.” - Ayn Rand, Anthem. And so I sleep. And dream of a different world. A beautiful world where there is no drawn line between reality and fantasy. A beautiful world in which my mind freely wanders around and about. Random images capturing the beauty of the simplicity and of the passions that shape us living beings... with a twist of darkness that mayhaps reflects more aptly the stark morbid reality.

And her shame wasn’t simple. It pullulated and turned on itself and stank at the bottom of the pit of desire–what is the question of desire? I don’t know. Something about its presumption to exist in human forms. Human forms are puny. Desire is vast. Vast, absolute and oddly general.

we die together from loving each other: an open death, by dilution into the ether, a closed death of the shared grave.
