My
Love
I
have lost my spider. I have seen him in my pack or on my clothes
since the islands, but not these two last days. I did not have time
to give him a name, but from now on I shall call him Tom. It is a
good name for a spider, and I think he was a good spider. I am not
sure. I did not get to know him very well. I hope he is happy where
he is now.
If
only Tom had been there, I am sure those blood-sucking nazis would
not have dared approach me. From the early morning they started to
bug me, flying around me, trying to intimidate me, buzzing in my ear,
landing on my glasses. Every time I stopped, they would attack. Even
my clothes did not bother them. Of course, I fought back. No nazi
scum shall get the best of me ! I slew them by the dozens, their
mangled corpses littering the ground around me. But they do not fear
death. They kept on coming, relentlessly, proving their eternal
loyalty to an unknown overlord. Outnumbered, exhausted, I had no
choice but to seek higher altitudes where they dare not venture. Here
I am now, tired after a long day, but once I recover, we shall settle
this for good. Goddamn nazis !
All
alone once more, without Tom, without the nazis, I find myself living
only for the road. I rest when tired, I eat when hungry. And
otherwise, I walk.
One
foot in front of the other, my legs tired, my knees weak, my back
aching, only the passing of the landscape gives me a sense of
purpose. There is no goal but my destination. Do not talk. Walk.
Thus
I am making good distance and hope to return to better times soon.
For there is nothing to be found in loneliness but blank, empty
spaces. No wisdom, no truth. Only nothingness. I cannot bear my empty
mind, and so I seek to escape from loneliness. Walk, walk, more and
more, beyond the grey, rocky mountains where only lichen grows,
beyond the thick, untrodden forests where the nazis roam, beyond the
clear blue lakes where fish doth swim, to the haphazard cities of
man, where there is everything to be had, and everything to be lost.
To where joy is shared, and pain also. To where madness can flourish.
I
do not need this tranquil wilderness, this empty land of lost
thoughts. It is empty. Empty of meaning and of words, only to be
gazed upon, never to be touched, truly. It can do to us what it will,
but we can do naught to it. It is, and we are, but not the same.
There is no connection. For me now it only exists as time. I shall go
find what I have forgotten here, and then I shall leave. To have a
drink with somebody. To share a meal. To talk. To do what humans
where meant to do : Be human together.
