The snow was falling
in front of a dark background
the contrast pronounced
the snow was melting on my skin
now looking up
I enjoyed it even morelike you doin those few
first seconds
the snow came down alone
but together they fell
landing on a dark soil
were only the first
This house was empty
empty for a long time
the outside leaked through the cracks
the doors never used
stuck
only the dark attic
gave me alone
to be with myself
Through the early winter
into the long night
I survived by the grace
of the place I ended
hanging by a thread
in just enough light
for my dying
conscious
rotten
corps
the coming spring will never
let me bloom again
but that is just a fact
From day
today I swing
back and forth
myself and movement
hand in hand
the wind in our hair distracts
so pleasant
but still
we don’t know
from what
Drawing 1998
My frozen face gets stuck in your mind
when you see this picture
thinking about what you see
you forget that this picture was taken
in the blink of an eye
maybe it was the start of a smile
or the end of it
think about your judgments
they are also taken
in the blink of an eye
you never know
what the second before
could have brought
Have you ever stood still while having the thought that there are eight billion people on this earth with eight billion ways of looking at the same world as you do and live in?
Eight billion ways to process all of this information and at least eight billion ways of believing what is processed.
Eight billion people that, by design, have to experience themselves as the center of their world.
Eight billion people conversating with themselves and finding words to decipher their beliefs.
Eight billion people who believe that they are alone in the world but still cling to the hope that there is another that will understand...them.
Eight billion people that close their eyes every night, helpless like we all are in our sleep.
Eight billion people who are only equal in their silence.
