Eighty Steps
05:44
|

|
There is a vast basement under my house, filled with dormant, powerful machines.
It smells of grease, and wet stone, and the high ceilings are ready to echo with the clang of intense productivity.
The machines are the flesh of this living space, its bones, its lungs, its heart.
I have come down into this place of means many times.
Before, it was as deep as the darkest coal mine, inescapable.
But now, there is a stairs, a way to the surface, a climb of eighty steps.

Your Dark Beauty

|
In the wet darkness we raid the grave of a medieval knight.
Reaching in through the stinking earth, through the remnants of his casket I grab his shining sword.
The knight awakens… his anger is unimaginably terrifying… he rises through the earth, but we run and leap over the graveyard walls…
I wake up in bed, heart pounding, holding the green, glowing sword close to my chest. Heart pounding….
Heart pounding….
Heart , pounding….

Endless Chambers

Rooms upon rooms appear as I walk through these endless chambers.
Sunlight floods the high ceilings, the tapestries, the wainscoting…
the tables, chairs, art, books… the expansive wooden floors.
and still more rooms.
My heart bursts. The complex and extraordinary beauty, the sheer infinity of this place.
I am sleeping naked on a dock. I wake up and roll into the water. It is immediate, warm and lovely. The sun is shining on me and I lay back and float out to sea with the tide.
The beauty of death
I am sleeping naked on a dock. I wake up and roll into the water. It is immediate, warm and lovely. The sun is shining on me and I lay back and float out to sea with the tide…
to merge with the ocean.

Food for a Soul
04:05
|
|||
|
I leap out from the edge of a gorge in an old, wealthy, dense urban neighbourhood.
I take flight over my old house… and from a great height looking into its centre, I see a red heart beating inside.

Fishing

I am fishing in the ocean down by the tower, I catch an angel.
