The New Emptiness

shining green Hawthorn copses,
heavily festooned with white bloom and I’ll think of you then.

“The forest will provide wood for the axe that will chop it down. Each living being exhausts its own resources for those who will come after, that’s what growth is.”

Jenny Erpenbeck – The End of Days.
