the exegesis of light
DESCRIPTION
My version of madness, perhaps the places we sometimes go, unwillingly, unwittingly, unknowing during those dark hours when life, when age, when the world closes around you. And when it does and if you are able to climb out into the light it is bright indeed. It is bright indeed.TRANSCRIPT
The Exegesis of Light
To know light is to know dark.
Dark as from the endless depths
of a treacle ocean.
A dark where light cannot
be supposed, cannot
be constructed.
A dark that is not a thing but a state
of eternal being.
A dark with no shards, no sparkle,
no reflections, no edges.
A dark where terror shares the name.
As the whispers of
the nosferatu
meld the dark, the terror
into your eyes, your mouth, your soul.
And then, ahh yes, only then,
may you see the light. And oh brother,
oh I do tell you brother,
that I have seen the dark,
oh yes, I have seen the dark.
