Corridor of Darker Days

 

The hell-stones reliving such rancid ideas

Fallen thoughts that shatter into cracks

Falling across faces that glares into dreams

A moment within a moment

 

The courtyard. Hours laugh mechanically

A pale window’s reflection. The boy is dead

Eyelid’s reveal. The sour tracks of rats

Midnight’s long weave dies in silence. Alone.

 

Red voices are heard in the black of ink

A killer looks eagerly to the bottomless well

Dangling legs swaying in moonlit alleys

 

No one sees the hand of the muse. 

Author's Notes/Comments:

Check out the work of Georg

Check out the work of Georg Trakl himself. he lived and died like like a rockstar :) He had schizophrenia and overdosed on cocaine at 27. But he died in 1914, so I think his work is almost public domain. 


Do you remember why we're here?

Thank you much Allets. I'm glad you liked the images. They are glimpses of what I actually saw in the courtyard of Georg Trakl's apartment.
