  • Ode to mould

    to make ones life in passing!
    among the remains
    of which one has no need

    the sentiment of affairs
    or,
    the smell of things

    the proof
    is in itself
    the aroma

    in principle
    it’s all
    framed, realized

    relativised
    perpendicular
    to the perfumes

    No sound, from where?
    because salt makes things taste
    Little screamer

    And this is almost always:
    The decline, the decay
    De- and cay always form a second nature
    Life begins in and by life, sometimes threatening, mouldy.
    Then, therefore, when the thing actually is, just by nature of that,
    which marks this thing, when a being that is in living strength so much happens,
    that a thing begins to dissolve in mist, in smell, in dark stench smoldering dissolves,
    is this then truly in accordance with its character?
    Thus, decay and mould are not signs of dissolution and destruction, but the designation for a more complete spreading of the particularities and relations of things and events.
