(2014)
Almost silent, A numbing hum. It is a cold cloudless night. A brilliant bone-white moon hovers amidst stars upon stars upon stars…
The storm is brewing. I smell it in the air. I am panicking. I fear this tempest might cost my life.
These words I cry do not come easily; as if they echo from the cold stone depths of a long forgotten tomb.
I see no reason now to disguise this naked heart and soul of mine. You can hide there

A subtle movement, a facial expression, a particular posture, the constant hint of danger; as if he were here again,
The old man, who thinks he’s dying, approached me with these words. I am sorry

Who’s gonna throw my pitiful ashes into the holy mother Ganges? Who’s gonna hold it as their sacre… Who’s gonna know the need for this… I’ve seen so many nameless shadows
