They are tales from a hidden place. Pieces of stories worn from being told so many times, of stories that have never been heard.
These are the tales that lie beyond us and that build us, so pervaded in the rough fabric of our understanding that they do not reveal themselves without making our soul into rags of nothingness. They are tales like fine silk threads that sew the rough cloths of the ego and make us whole on the outside and broken within.
They are the fables lost in the pale places of our memory, the bits of a song that we may never have heard. The faceless faces that bring in their lap the eyes of every crowd. The colors of the landscapes we came back from so long ago that the only remains of them are vague impressions of something that has no name or how to be called. The shapeless sounds, the dreams that so often remind us of anything that has happened. And the lived things that were lost in dreams, in a bizarre blend of running images.
They are tales of a hidden place. The lost forge of our identity. The noise. The smell of nothing at all… that fills us as it exudes from the inside out of our gaze. The reflection in murky waters of a foreign lover. The quiet acidity of the memories that got stuck in the crooked sieve of time.
