Just a random mix from my notebook from the visit here. I definitely left feeling dispirited//far from inspired, there was regrettably little to draw from, especially with a constant flux of tourists coming through and taking selfies with the christfigure.
2//5

Pray, what was the last hope you sacrificed to flame?

Here, last hope, survived the flame.

Little more to consume,

little left to praise.
Just holy kitsch and historical clutter,

fragments that connect one era to another.

seven by seven

upright remains

wax gold stone,

glass

wood marble metal

cloth canvas & paper
pure body, no spirit (I have brought my beaming own)

Where is the place that is all spirit and no body?

\\\

blue is the hottest flame &

seven is a holy number–

Still the spirit has flown,

And the wreckage rests at Teufelsberg,

last vestiges,

“We will pray for you”
