All of Us

                   We are all of us resigned to death : it is life we aren't resigned to.

Where the Rich Walk

           New York is where the rich walk, the poor drive cadillacs and the beggars die of malnutrition with thousands of dollars hidden in their mattresses.

Faith in Nights

                                       But the darkness pulls in everything
                                       shapes and fires, animals and myself
                                       How easily it gathers them
                                       Powers and people

                                       And it is possible a great energy
                                       is moving near me

                                       I have faith in nights

Rainer Maria Rilke
