7 7

7 7 — the pale linen cover, the title in red, a ball of red wool with its thread wandering across the cloth.

A birthday gift for my mother’s 65th, on the seventh of July — edition of one. Seven written pieces and seven images, paired, narrating six and a half memories and motifs. Words written or edited by the human; images and design by machines.

A spread — a German poem facing a painting of a tulip bud, its green sheath splitting open to red. — nature (I)

A spread — a poem facing a cool, deep painting of open water, a lone swimmer heading out. — swimming (III)

The final spread — the red thread stitched through the gutter, wandering across two blank pages. — „für das, was noch kommt"
