My minimalized uterus
A tower ahead steering me towards the dead
A little shuttle locks the path
I am dying here
Sitting wealthy in the airport’s waiting area
I will bleed to death
Leaving nothing but my minimalized
uterus
My lost feet
I had the beach all to myself
Despite my wish for closer relations
Fifty years have passed
And here I am
Isolated from the longed for world
Going on all around my lost feet
The skull of Mother Earth
The skull of Mother Earth
lays resting on Milky Way’s worn out diamonds
Empty as a newly exorcised christian
she begs for mercy
