We climbed into the church, which hangs behind the village on the edge of a ravine/quarry and a meadow with frozen alfalfa.
It opens its mouth at us with every incoming twilight.
Door like when the Helper swaps part of the cheeks and stretches the cheeks to the eyes, grin from Codex Gigas.
We admire the naked little girls and the drooping pygmies of the statues hidden in the drawer of the table left in the sacristy.

It was dark in the ages then
And so I
An unmarked Monk
Took to pen and began
The write of my life
At hand...
No sight to call friend
And the devil at my door
Quietly knocking
A dark heart
Patiently waiting
So I let It in...
" drawn to a page "
and odd...
Where this book began
A lone soul in search of sins
To feed in scribbles
A page of skin
" a deal is this " was said...
and then time stopped moving
I finished my work
And remain as the living...
Code X
" The Beginning "

nature… her keyhole
not relevant… has no door
forever… not sure…
reptile scales… their skin
