​Every night's an arthritic, pissed off bird careening through sleep's misshapen spinal cord, throbbing without surcease. If its skull could speak, what would it say? Undeterred, would its mouth shape tongueless tidings or slurred debate, sentences locked in a rhinal snort or rasping like a scratchy vinyl recording? And what could be more absurd

All living beings possess their own truth and are made from the same stuff as we are. Slaughtering them for meat isn’t a collective need—it’s an individual choice.

The jacket worn thin like a pack of wolves. His face a shard of marble. Surrounded by his letters in a grove rustling with scorn and errors, the heart blows like a scrap of paper through the inhospitable passages. Now sunset prowls like a fox across this land, igniting the grass in a flash. The sky is full of hooves and antlers, and below it the carriage glides, shadowlike, between my father’s lit-up homesteads.

Personal choice ends where another’s suffering begins—if it involves harming others, it’s no longer “personal.”

​I was disoriented by our monad of Judeo-Christian bees. The slight curve of my back makes a depression in the sand when I breathe in. You were the amputee in the Bible reciting Freudian slips in the honeymoon suite. I tried to carry you through the enchanted forest like in that Russian movie. I couldn’t tell if you were sleeping or gnawing on my hand. The shadow of the palm tree tiptoed across your face as the vodka dribbled down your chin. Once we reached the PBS station, your womb collapsed. Each vowel was a rat darting out from under the oven.

Narcissists "experience a kind of temporal void, an endless repetition of old patterns with no true progression, accompanied by feelings of emptiness and a nagging fear of death."

Anything that exists to process, exists to fail. Ask yourself-- what’s the point of a kettle without water, or a clock without time? For example, take this exercise weight: it has one job, which it achieves through burden. Put it down on the scale’s flashing face, like a baby or a brick. Then see if the machine stutters its sums, if its verdict is wrong

Another one’s left the heavy city’s ring of greedy stones. Briny and crystal-clear, the water closes over every true fugitive’s head. Silence has risen here in a slow-turning whirl from the center of the earth, to root and grow and with a lavish crown cast shade on the man’s sun-warmed steps.

At once symbolic and immediate, grounded and searching, capturing not just what is seen, but what is felt beyond the edge of perception, Bentsman's photographs invite the viewer to discern where one sense gives way to the other—or whether the distinction even holds at all.
