A body is pursuing the subtraction, the essence of nothingness, the empty space; it’s looking for the sense of presence in absence.
This body is draining itself, it is sealed inside its imagine, it’s swaying, it’s looking for an identity. It remembers that it has no news about present – it seems it doesn’t resemble it.
That body retraces backwards a preset way, hidden in the desolation of everyday life, that body reduces and ridicules itself.
That body is empty, weak, nothing brushes against the shade of its entirety; that body is lacking of reliability, even its smell is temporary.
