Addictive Nihilism

post-thumb

And when I suggested
“let’s get drunk”
“On what?"
You asked

Let’s get drunk
on pain
on poetry,
on menthol cigarettes

Let’s get drunk
on obsessive delusions
on time that never happened
on vague moments

Let’s get drunk
on parallel illusions
and right here in this moment
Forever

Metaphors of Impermanence Metaphors of Impermanence

Laura Esteves

Laura Esteves builds worlds with words, and dismantles the ones that already exist. She writes about what hurts, what transforms and what refuses to be forgotten. She writes about love, identity and the systems that insist on defining us.

She believes literature is the only place where truth doesn't need permission. Her texts are born from the certainty that every story told with courage is an act of freedom; for whoever writes and whoever reads.
