“Oh quickly disappearing photograph
in my more slowly disappearing hand.”
― The Collected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke
in my more slowly disappearing hand.”
― The Collected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke
“One colour. One word. So many shades. The color of african skin, of shadow on snow, of a jay's throat, the color of saxophones at dusk, of orbiting police lights smeared across tenement windows, of a flame's intestines, of the faint tracery of veins visible beneath the ghost-flesh of her forearm's underside, of loneliness, of melancholy. The blues.”
