For me poetry is about discovering connections.
One simile connects A to B
and suddenly there is a whole new route for your mind to travel.
The longer the road – the more you see on the way.

Spiral
It is utterly impossible to say exactly what I want to say, for expression changes thought.
But thought does not exist outside expression, and hence it is impossible not to say it.
Expression and thought, form and content…
the endlessly fascinating game that is the colour of vision and the shape of a snail’s shell. -
Autumn Stained Glass
Fall.
The time of unrest.
The space between seasons.
The riotous clamour of colour and the whisper of falling leaves, rustling…
The melody is created in the space between scream and whisper,
as between death and rebirth arises the music of life. -
Reflection
Over the years
I became so used to seeing myself reflected in your eyes –
I forget to look in the mirror…
At the end of the day,
this is the only reflection that matters. -
Surrealism
For me, the value of surrealism is not in showing something unusual,
it is in making us look at ordinary things anew…
Seeing what somebody else made up is nothing compared to co-creating a world! -

Only realism and exploration have a chance
of actually expanding the universe of our cultural imagination. -
In memoriam
The Museum of Natural History.
A monument to Darwin and a memorial to intellectual courage.
To those few who really did not want to make a fuss,
but also could not live with themselves
without stating: “E pur si muove!”
To those, to whom we owe our freedom.
Thank you. -
Enter At Your Own Risk
Ontogenesis repeats phylogenesis…
As in individual psyche,
when the walls we have built in our cultures start cracking,
the horrors from the past come through
and remind us of a large part of who we are.
Enter at your own risk…
