word-languages are a trap… they created chaos and made us sink in incoherence… our words don’t suit prophecies anymore. that power is left to other species: to oak trees, for example, to the tides, which through their restlessness carry a phosphorescence we’re not equipped to hear.

another uncanny thing, speaking of words and language. language attracts words like moths and birds to light. they too get trapped and burnt. good thing words can also watch, and we always have the silence behind.
