''With all this darkness round me I feel less alone.''

Louis Valtat




Perhaps I am somewhere patient, somehow kind, perhaps in 
the nook of a cousin universe I’ve never defiled or betrayed anyone. 
Here I have two hands and they are vanishing, the hollow of your back 
to rest my cheek against, your voice and little else but my assiduous fear to cherish.

"For to know nothing is nothing, 
not to want to know anything likewise, 
but to be beyond knowing anything, 
to know you are beyond knowing anything, 
that is when peace enters in, to the soul of the incurious seeker.''


Valentine Serov
