SexAndDeath

the venus flower basket

has a tale of sex and death.

the basket is a curved tube like glass sponge

created in intricate lattice work.

it is a bridal chamber

for a pair of tiny male and female shrimps

of the spongicola family.

the pair enters the bridal suite,

made in their beautiful home of the sea.

the young ones produced from this union

escape from the basket

while still in the embryo stage,

while the parents die  inside the chamber.

'Your children get only one childhood'

 burned forest bones

"death

all things summon us to death.

nature, almost envious of the good

she has given us,

tells us often,

and gives us notice,

that she cannot for long

allow us that scrap of matter

she has lent..........

she has need of it for other forms,

she claims it back for other works."

found at the mona art museum of old and new art

'after each big event take some time of'

snowflakes in the summer forest

"he, to whom nature

begins to reveal 

her open secrets, 

will feel an irresistible yearning

for her most worthy interpreter:

art"
