My oldest memory in this life:

A summer evening. I am 7 and my mother is a Black Widow. She sits by my bed in the last light of a day that only brought darkness & death. Night falls through the window of the silent attic when she sings, no when she sighs slow & sadly a madly talking b lues: ‘Only what dies, shall live, my son. So... Sign in to see full entry.

Still singing

I am no more than this ornament on a chain between the breasts of a radiant woman under a crescent moon. I have to submit my head in her lap as I was John the Baptist who was baptized in his own blood. And the wind blows and a sword swings and I am no more than this head severed from its body and...

The Moon and I

Complaint of a Lonely Knight

I would sacrifice 7 virgins & more if you in return only would give me your life. 8 stands for Infinity, so be my wife & see them float in the moonlit night.

A bit of a Bluebeard

I tell you – and my voice is as sweet as the night: ‘I still have a room for you in my little castle by the River of Love.’ And I lay my left hand on your head because my right hand is a hook & hiding. And I can see you thinking: ‘What do I have to lose to this dirty old man with his beard a bit... Sign in to see full entry.
