about the artwork

the women have only to report the war
the children sit in the dark and lose
the men overshoot themselves to heroes
one should profit from this reckoning

the benefit burns itself in the embers
sunstorm sinks the nerve defenses
everyone's gender seems wrong
and nothing becomes courageous again so quickly

poem by Kirstin Breitenfellner
we live and then we are dead
mortality weights
