  • Without my skin

    I lie awake in bed without my skin I peeled it off last night while you were here I wanted you to feel the blood within I wanted you to know I was sincere You reached into my chest and touched my heart I smiled and opened up my ribcage…

  • On conquering the Iron Throne

    What have you been up to lately? Me, I’ve been adventuring in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, leveling up my physical strength and skiing skills to an astonishing degree, reading an absurd amount of books and thinking really deep thoughts. Oh, and conquering the world, while I’ve…

  • The physiology of sorrow

    Where to begin? Where to pick up the pieces to carry on, after an ending? There is a silence, which is a struggle to break through. Who am I to go on about my petty little feelings? My problems seem insignificant in the face of death. But then, what else…

    Views from my windows, at noon. They say the amount of snow is uncharacteristically small for the season, yet it has piled up so high we can hardly see out anymore. Temperatures have dropped below -10 degrees this past week, and the lake has finally frozen over. I went skiing…
