"In the Offing"
Work selected to the 10th International Contemporary Art Competition "Osaka Triennale 2001", Osaka, Japan.

|
Setting the Cross
In the window of my self,
|
|
|
To put on my shadows,
Setting them on fire,
Seeing the shadow, that follows my step,
Hearing the echo, that stalks my voice.
|
|
The shadow disguised
As a Fata Morgana,
And I set it as a focus
Of my illumination.
|
|
|
The Cross embraced me
On the Ark of Violet.
The shadows had run
To be again reborn.
|
|
In bright-burning red
There's a flaming world.
In the ante-room of resurrection
I appear.
|
|
|
Setting the Cross
In the window of my self,
|
