about the artwork

the territory is never fought for the children
or a desired future
the auditorium always believes
that war leads to peace

injured and seduces the arguments
of the morality of sacrifice
heavily wedged in the dislocated
lie can win the victory who does not honor the pain
the war goes wrong
and never succeeds

much to be suffered
permanently maimed
hard to win

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