And the stars were shining, and the earth smelled sweet

When you chose me—
love chose—
I came out of the great anonymity
from everyone, from nothing.
Till then
I was never taller than
the sierras of the world.
I never sank deeper
than the maximum
depths marked out
on maritime charts.
And my gladness was
sad, as small watches are
without a wrist to fasten to,
without a winding crown, stopped.
But when you said: you,
to me, yes, to me singled out,
I was higher than stars,
deeper than coral.

I needed a break from my still ongoing, rather big Jakarta, Neo Blok M painting and did this just under an hour. Illustration with lineart oftentimes demands a certain amount precision and can feel a little mechanical and less intuitive. So doing things like this or just doodling in-between is quite liberating.

Sitze gerade am Kapitel über Baumgeister und Geisterbäume und auch wenn Mangroven da sträflich zu kurz kommen, musste ich an sie denken, weil die gefährlichen Fürze (ich zitiere quasi) der Abgestorbenen Fichten und Zypressen den Klimawandel, der ihr Absterben ja begünstigt, noch verstärken: #MakingKinWithTrees #MastoTrees #GhostTrees https://www.technologynetworks.com/immunology/news/soil-microbes-responsible-for-ghost-forest-tree-farts-358168

Soil Microbes Responsible for Ghost Forest Tree "Farts"

A new study shows that methane is largely generated in the soils below standing dead trees in so-called ghost forests, or coastal forests that are being killed off by rising sea levels.<br /><br />
