(as published in Auslegpapier):

even
though humidity
might take its toll
honouring each whim of entropy,
there is stolid persistence
adjucated by attachment,
by clinging to
the moments of
doubt.

bricks belong
and heed their master's
each and every indulgence:
dear, sweet, homely gravity!
while mere mortar may
dissolve and crumble

it won't be long.
it never is. ask the nymphs
and fauns and watcher spirits that
last. neural uniformity goes first
as mosses, fungi, viral, vital cells
demand their share and shed humility:
minerals to feed the masses, yearning
to be free. ugh, structures long
to breathe through the
gaps left by
mortar

(imagine a layout along the central axis):


the older you
turn
the bolder this body
owns

you -
patches of colour
mark
skin once pristine -

watch out for
moles
inflamed onto this
hide -

marrow
and morrow may
no
longer rhyme -

counting down
time

spots

( imagine a layout along 
the central vertical axis as 
published in auslegpapier):

the deeper you 
dive
the bolder this ocean
owns

you - subconscious
intrusions, particles
of worldly self settle
within you and thrive -

patches of sweat
melt into the green-
even stone is a liquid
no gravity can tame

in the long run - you
are bound to believe
in the pervasiveness
of this ülace to become

what once was
you
in a harlekin coat
