Aphorism (The Betrayal of Images V)

 

Kafka writes in the Aphorisms:

“From the true opponent, a limitless courage flows into you”.

But what

is it that

you seek to escape

in

this dim road?

All of this

additional time

will be taken

from you.

The ruins linger

in the same spot.

 

The machine of our

interactions

leaves behind

spare

parts &

crooked

teeth.

 

A self-portrait does not have to be complete to show the face: only viewers need to appear whole even though inside they might be full of holes.

 

Like Jude,

one continues to

wish oneself

out of the world &

one mistakes the city

for the person.
