borrowed words

Two heads drawn in a thin pale line on black, eyes lowered: can something missing actually be worth something?

A huge hand lifts a small kneeling figure by a thread: the performance subject exploits itself and calls it freedom.

A man rests his face on his arm beside a glass overflowing with small faces: it doesn't come from too much negativity, it comes from too much positivity.

A figure lies on its back, an arrow pointing to a small dot above: and then there's the other tiredness, the healing kind, the one where you finally stop.

Stop crying, 2026

What gives you a say in my body, in my thoughts, in my most hidden corner? Thoughts keep multiplying inside my head, and gossip, gossip, gossip.
