Scorched Earth and the Blessing of the Dead

Witching Hour in Animal Crossing

It's Always Burning Up in Here

Fireflies Light Our Way to the End

method: experimenting with parallel loops, magix tts was used to read the text of the poem
narration: the poem gestated with covid still around
image: statue seen in dresden zoo many years ago, modified, copyright jo richter - the internet knows that the statue I photographed was created by Otto Pilz: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Pilz ( I did not see an English version of that article...another perspective on that statue can be seen as the lowest picture on that page, apparently photographed in a different season)


poem ( previously published in the collection  AUSLEGPAPIER under the title virus ) / copyright jo richter:

to become integrated
into the sprawling self – 
nutrient tissue for the  
tentacles that reach

into the real – each
pinpoint manifestation
allowing to devine
huge outside dimensions

sifting in, taking root -
rearranging molecules
the way any hyperspace chemistry
would – sleeper cells
dreaming back to human-
kind in kind

The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning."
