"I wish I could take language And fold it like cool, moist rags.
I would lay words on your forehead. I would wrap words on your wrists. 'There, there,' my words would say - Or something better. I would ask them to murmur, 'Hush' and 'Shh, shhh, it's all right.' I would ask them to hold you all night. I wish I could take language And daub and soothe and cool Where fever blisters and burns, Where fever turns yourself against you. I wish I could take language And heal the words that were the wounds You have no names for."

Julia Margaret Cameron (1815 - 1879)

How to find a fortune: a series of landscapes shot on
polaroid film, published in
Måg / Issue two

how to find a fortune between all your short-lived stories
what’s waiting for you is the land of special sin treatments
some babes are built for trouble
almost never do you see - the man who terrorizes you - the man who spies on you, or the man
who fights dirty

too much beauty for the silent seducers
and the man who cheats
too much brain’s for the man who is a deserter,
the man who has no mercy and is a victim of -
unnatural desires

a slave of too much money
blowing himself up turning into a man
who could - steal a country
the incredible escaper
don’t break your body - while you are watching yourself being eaten alive, by the man who sweet talks
you asked for it and you will get it
the way you want it

crawl my lovely - you leave me cold.
