Books and photos on paper
are a fine way of preserving
and keeping my life complete -
who I have become
from my youth up, memories
of my family, images
of their presence
their activities and the places
that belong to it, all together
a constantly growing mountain
with hair-thin dendrites:
the mountain of my life
With a photo and poetry book for Madelief on the occasion of her 26th birthday, with a photo of the Rigi on the cover, seen from Walchwil, and finely branched trees in the foreground (February 9th, 2008)
Collection "Take a picture, now"
