“Man’s most valuable faculty is his imagination” – Germaine Necker De Staël (1766-1817).
 
All we have 
upon this earth 
are beginnings 
 

an opening, void, 
a space where 
happiness floats 
 
Pierce the eyeball. 
Strike 
the heart. 
 

Fiction’s only truth 
is the impression 
it produces 

 
Reason and 
imagination 
bound 
 
A history not 
of past but 
future 
 

Nothing true 
and everything 
likely 
 
Each stab within 
my sensitive 
suffering heart 
 
All that falls 
into time’s 
vast chasms
