The Red Skull [1908]

trs

Here in the bowels of the earth, under the bed of the ocean, in almost complete darkness, and with a raving madmen and murderer struggling with another criminal — the position was enough to unsettle the sanest human being.

— Fergus Hume

Chaos

chaoss

Like showgirls on a night train
Or a ranting actress in an indifferent play
Chaos has come the Queen of the Mayhem
I’m having a brainstorm, pet she says
As the Monkeyshine Room falls
Into beautiful lines about her quickly
Shading from quirky to genuinely disordered
A kind of ripple flowing over her fixed and
Terrible regard different from and cognate with
Her limp green chiffon white enamel and pearls
Stuffed into some extremely skinny jeans consuming
This whole instant impulse not accident
A sudden decision from the wrong lane
Trying to get property of a non-object fused
Into a new union a languid leathery substance
With a strange gem like sparkle both endearing
And corrupt having electromagnetic implications
And a mounting attraction that I may one day rue

Veils

Sketch002 copy

You may conceal yourself in a thousand forms,

but, all-beloved one, I recognize you at once;

you may cover yourself with magic veils,

all-present one, I recognize you at once

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
