about the artwork

we run and do not drift
man is always born stupid
nourished by ideas, the dead are lost

yet all will not remain
the finiteness clings to us
and fizzles out with the mortal remainder

the war remains the one constant
that never adorns anyone
the others are always to blame
where no one is frightened of themselves

we shy of our own sight
still as two enemies in the trench
perception reflects madness
without lies I am not to be had

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