“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
― Fernando Pessoa

I write to no one and an improvisation that doesn't exist is being created. I've unglued myself from myself. And I want disarticulation, for only in it am I myself in the world. Only in it do I feel well. Feel well. I, in my solitude, am almost going to explode.

Abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away in silence
Don't walk away
