I swallowed the sun...

Stay... Remember me...

You are like that song that I
cannot understand the words of
But I feel it is about the daughter of the moon

Every day I am afraid the earth will swallow me
But sometimes I want to swallow the sun
So it will stop shining
It is either that or extinguishing it's flames with tears that flow like rivers

Stay... Remember me...

The desert called your name
It once called mine as well
I couldn't hear the words to clearly
So my soul left way too many years ago

It dug a hole deep into the ground
And ended up in the land of water and wind
Only to roam the landscape for ages
Nothing but deer to guide me
So it didn't go astray

I woke up at dawn
Stumbled over a rock and found my heart
It had burn marks
of being afraid
And swallowing the sun

My roots felt like an endless summer
And my autumn turned my leaves in grey

Stay... Remember me...

I put my heart back in my body
And promised myself...
Next time
Instead of burn
It will melt...
And turn into notes of songs
That will sing a serenade to the night

Stay... Remember me...

So that stars can guide me once again to that desert
Where I first found you
Guide me
with your light

Negative made on coated handcrafted Tosa Washi paper.

Test printed on Foma fiber.

The negative is logically a bit brittle so hopefully it will remain intact for a proper print on my favorite Bergger fiber paper. Otherwise it will be the only few prints ever made.
