2014, 5*, church, Darmstadt, dove, earth, feet, glass, heaven, light, silence, sound, stillness, water
St. Ludwigskirche
still
despite
the columns the creaking benches the stations and
their modern feet
despite
the fiery stucco earth the watery brick of heaven and the
stain glass of dove
despite
the tuts of silence the claps of alleluia and the merest
crease of leaflet
a shaft
spreads round the holy spirit echoing and feed-backing all
across the dome

church wormhole: all the while / the flagpole rope / occasionally flaps / the breeze
feet wormhole: plethora: the Dark Knight Strikes Again (2002)
glass wormhole: gazing at the night / as my eyes passed the jagged hole / my head disappeared
light wormhole: axis: bold as love
silence wormhole: time
sound & stillness & water wormhole: sounds // suddenly / stop

Was a pebble in it….couldn’t seem to find it….quite an irritation for some time now…think it’s out now.
