Abel's Confessions


A selection of thoughts, ramblings and appeals, some new, some old, some comprehensible, some not. But, perhaps all are necessary, for me at least.


Previous:

May 2004. Brother,
I am but the Son of the Dying God crying in the City, will you not listen?

June 2004. Blaspheme along with me, Brother. A city so tranquilized by Orthodoxy can only be revived through blasphemy.

July 2004. I don't want a Sun in my sky Brother. I have no need for a Moon. A star or two will suffice for me in my all but too shy existence on the cold margins of things. Speak of mediocrity, Brother, I am mediocrity incarnate. 

August 2004. While you make history Brother, I make love. While you seek fame, I seek fulfillment.

September 2004. My bearing is the bearing of frogs, Brother. My pride is the pride of lizards. My shame is the shame of a lamb about to be slaughtered.

July 2005. The taste of my liver in my own mouth, Brother, offends and sickens me. But I have to feed upon myself to survive – I am my only source of sustenance these days, and my only source of hope.

December 2005. I lust for salvation, Brother, as though it were a woman, and I - a man.
 

 

 

 

Freedom


Have you really forgotten who I am, Brother? Have you really forgotten who I am, Brother?

 


I

lust

for

salvation,

 Brother,

as

though

it

were

a

woman,

and

I

 -

 a

man.
