like the rest of my life.”

“When I express what I do, think, or feel in my solitude, I feel like I betray something sacred. I feel like I betray my feelings by exposing them, by putting them into words. Because solitude is being alone, after all; it's not suitable for any kind of external audience, or it turns into a commercial corruption.”
“A HOTEL ROOM IN PARIS #31
At the bottom of the lonely window,
The sky looks almost velvety lilac.
While at the top, the window frame
Seems to drown in front of an ocean of blue satin.
White window frames in uneven walls
Cast no shadow, so the light projects the soul of each traveller instead.
So I sit here in silence, filtering out the noise
That the boulevards inhabit and sing each day.
Only the music I keep in my room, the silent solitude each one carries;
Carries far and – may I hope – home soon.”
