Division

The division Here in this landscape of bushes and crippled trees the grotesque peace of daylight ghosts, grey boughs stretching upward appealing to a soundless god. “Give us today a new life.” There is only one deity the almighty one goes under the name of Silvanus. Those who do not understand this are doomed to a life of empty pursuit of pleasures. Crowded nightclubs and casinos, people trying not to be alone in the night and face the truth we are mortals and infrequently remembered. Faces in a black frame, seeing you seeing through you and into an ever-expanding void.
