Unmapped,
you have seen more than,
and more than...
Nobody knows your name.
Over a thousand years
:slip:
over a thousand years...
:streamed:
..pouring lushlayers of lichens, upon and upon
under and under
Thuringian coniferous magnificence, neverEnding
- sink deeper -
through stoic worlds of almost-fiction
as tendrilbent grey ghost trees
take the day
down,
shadow-wrapt in splendour and solace,
inspiration in peaceful pieces
of paranatural portals,
where ancient weatheredrock majesty
snarls
whispers
formidable audible imPossibly
real.
- believe in me -
Wildhearted fortress
stonewalled and ironworked
since Our Year 900
you have watched and waited
"welcome to my domain"
I touch your roughhewn mosskissed hallways
hungrily hoping to bleed your pasts
upon and upon
under and under
:bless:possess:caress: me
with thunderous memories
nobody seems to notice.
(always)
Nobody
(and never)
seems to notice.
never: forever
but I am Endless here;
above and above,
step under and under,
and i shall
forget
you
not.
- believe in me -
...
It must be hard
to be a town with a castle
in this magnificent land
of more famous
more grand
more painted
(more than and more than)
more.more.more.more towns
with castles.
tiny cobblestoned Elgersburg,
with your ferocious forest so visceral magnificent
that the mighty Schwarzwald
bows before it,
I am here to shatter your secret.
I am here to sing to your silence.
Let the company you keep -
your noisier neighbours screaming their histories,
where Goethe walked
and Buchenwald burned:
where Liszt...Hitler...
Schiller...Nietzsche...
Bach...Luther...more.more.more -
let them drink heavy of their limelight
and collapse tonight.
I am here to map your dragons.
I am here
to awaken your gods.
always and never, never: forever.
