Cold shimmer – winter takes hold of your hands like an old, devious friend. Your hands are frozen, you wake up. Dreams, reflections in the subconscious twice-mirrored objects at midnight past. Nothing lasts but time. Shadow selves take over trying their luck. Hollow are the stories to be told, hollower the bodies hollower their moves hollower the looks of what is to be/come. You scream at midnight past, yet sound has died. November 2023, Athens. Photograph: moon meets Jupiter in the night sky; 1 Oct. 2023, Samothraki.
