The Bird
It is autumn again. I was going through my archive, to try and make sense of the beat of time, and stumbled upon an old fragment. It relays of two years past - a time before Klexp. Can you imagine? Can you allow me this self-reflective gesture, as I point at curtain, from which I come and to which I must return, eventually?

Sickly and pale, twisted figures, as we all are, nonetheless, nonetheless [...] intertwined with the filthy dogs smiling their filthy smile [...] but the matrix of the universe is always there, shape of the cosmos, shape of love. [...] Throughout all of time, we see [...] one will unite [...]
[...] unspeakable shape, words do not suffice, my god, my god [...] in abjection, in lamentation, I rise my voice to you, so that it might turn into [...]
At last the ultimate life form appears, end of the millenium and its beginning: the bird.
