'There is nothing to do and there is nowhere to go

There is nothing to be and there is no-one to know'*

 earth child

your names are many
 you broke a  promise
and now the 

Autumn smoke 
Slows breathing
the inside of your mind is shining

this mental cathedral
tottering
about to collapse or explode into fireworks ]that pour out of your mouth

In her eyes

Something to tune into
Waves emitted
Received
Emitted
With the purpose of a
European journey
A sojourn
Into the Marabar caves
With perambulators and vultures carrying
Sedan chairs laden with gold effigies
Of Victorian deities
One falls and tumbles and is dashed against the rocks
That line the rapid river’s edge
You see ghosts in the corridors at night
A book ‘Morphology of Landscape’ falls
Open at your feet
Over on the sixth floor
A tumulus of books on Heidegger is constructing itself
Books flit like bats torchlight strafes the dim light
The wind blows the flaps in the air conditioning units on the roof
It’s the perfect storm. 

*Thomas Ligotti
