Dear with Extremes of Thirst and Pain

14 December 2007
Vol. 7, No. 4
poetry, collaboration

For thousands of years people have carried their faces this way, one by one, only on their heads.



Under these conditions nothing is harder to control than reason. You babble without speaking,

march into the desert without water. We will die tomorrow, the day after at the latest.

22 January 2006
Vol. 5, No. 4
poetry

"Ammo more expensive than a gun"


"Let's buy a bullet! Who's got bread?"
