meine umwelt

Ahh… and the tales I shall unfold
May blast comprehension if the truth be told
An ode to the masters, martyrs and whims

Under watchful hewn eye
The baiting of the traps
The g'lt of the cage
Saw the horizon

The wind carried back
As tails of practices
To foreign shores
Routes with time and tales
Plundered my stores
Every cave for a splint-
