ILFORD DELTA 100
(2008 - 2012)

Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now dumb

What have we become?

What have we chosen to be?

Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of our name

nothing can ever be the same

now the Immortals are here

At the time it seemed a reasonable course to harness all the force

of life without the threat of death

but soon we found that boredom and inertia are not negative,

but all the law we know

and dead are will and words like survival

Arrival at immunity from all age, all fear and all end

why do I pretend?

Our essence is distilled

and all familiar taste is now drained

and though purity is maintained

it leaves us sterile

living through the millions of years…
