I love the story a picture can tell
even if you don’t know what you see
it’s because we are so used to it

I forged raw iron till it reflected
what I could not see straight on
it costs me half a life
but what half?

I looked at it so closely
that I didn’t know what I was looking at

I walked along the fence
in search of an opening
but all I found
was a board on the floor
an opening too small
I could only look through
at the darkness inside
forever it seems

I almost mist the hidden door
because I was looking for a way out

Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.

I don’t recognize my shadow
when it sneaks up from behind
or stares me in the face
I just now it’s always there
in a different form
but me

View from the couch
where else do you have the best view?

I live in an abandoned building
I think
the echo speaks to me

I don’t know what they say about me
and what would I do
if I knew
they are right about their first impression
and you don’t even have one
you only have
at most
a few words
a description
about parts of you

I can’t reach the fire escape
because there is no fire

166 Always in our company.- Whatever in nature and in history is of my own kind, speaks to me, spurs me on, and cormforts me; the rest I do not hear or forget right away. We are always only in our own company.
179 Thoughts.– Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings-always darker, emptier. and simpler.

An unknown workplace
where you know every tool
just not why it is there

The worlds you look at
through your windows
are as much a part of your life
as the inside
where you live

I arrived in this city
the black tarmac was in front of me
this whole time
but only arrived
did I notice it

I have to recharge after a short while
over and over again
if I want to reach you
