The Eye of Paradox

Right here at the end of the world

Here, at the end of the world

Love and despair go hand in hand

Brilliant humour and belly-aching laughter

accompany thick tears

Painful mourning keeps the space open for what emerges

Madness and sanity sustain imagination

While twisted nightmares get real

Tension and flexion

Standing still in deep (e)motion

Sunk in what we want to control

Lost in rapid and insane illusory movements

Binding

We lose ourselves

Breathless

But

Here, at the end of the world, we breathe together

We hear each other’s warm heartbeats

Here, at the end of the world, we rip our skins but keep our cloaks

We nestle together

Here, at the end of the world, the monstrous eye of paradox stares back at us.

Beckons back at us

Do you feel its gaze?
