The Possessed

-

The sun converts into a gauzy moon, the moon of my life that is! All shadow, all fumes— I’m so fucking exhausted, Felix.

And yet I love you! And if you want today, like an eclipse of sorts, like a phenomenon, we can enter our madness again, enter the tomb of the surging crowd and it will be good.

Look at your eyes, those chandelier­s. Look at mine, my brother. I’m compelled by some overwhelmi­ng lust, some morbid, thrilling pleasure.

Black night. Red dawn. You can be whatever you want me to be. There’s not a fiber in my body that doesn’t cry for you, cry— Oh my dear Satan, je t’adore!
