Depths

2/16/2023

 
Picture
The cracks in her life have never been joined together. Her life has never been useful or agreeable. Her actions consign her father's faith and that of other men to the depths of the sea. Grief is not an ocean for her. Only a puddle.

Zero

2/12/2023

 
Picture
A vagrant exiled on the foreign soil of her own memories: 

A carpet of poppies by Klimt reproduced on the wall of Room 305 of the Hotel California, Málaga.

The skeleton of an aqueduct by night.

An open-air cinema by a storm-beaten Mediterranean beach. 

Winter light, tunnels, transit, vanishing points. 

Do all the borders crossed cancel us out, reducing us to zero?
