in search of a grand seduction

hush · issue 8

night on your face/those darkroom flickers/a landscape has endless false endings/the play of the imagination is violent/language is as blind as sleep/enter the folds of a human adventure/cold spreads like sawdust over an abandoned playground/there are not enough faces in the mirror for your selves
