“I began to feel my misery in pallet on floor, listening
to music, my misery, that's why I want to sing.
The room closed down on me, I expected the presence
of the Creator, I saw my gray painted walls and
ceiling, they contained my room, they contained
me”
~Allen Ginsberg’s Transcription of Organ Music
I came down here
to get away
away from the noise, from the heat
from the feeling of eyes on me
the sun beating down on my neck
eternal witness of all
there is a certain calm I get
from pressing my cheek to this basement wall
Unburden me
Let me feed from the darkness
I don’t need humanity
I crave simple dark cold interrupted absence
Narcissus merely stared at his reflection in a lake
I have spent three years working, attempting to create
Perfect representation of subjective existence
To materialize a shadow is to extract a ghost from its image
Unburden me
Let me feed from the darkness
I don’t need humanity
I crave simple dark cold interrupted absence
