“…we are collectively at the heart of the hourglass, its tightening constricting

A chest pain is a world-reckoning anguish as the narrow chance of change is closing.”


– Jay Griffiths in ‘Nemesis, my friend’ –

NEMESIS

Tineke Van der Eecken – 2023

In this Anthropocene,

fires blaze, gulf streams slow

 

Blindfolded Nemesis gives us

what is due, Duende forms a fist

 

By the light of the last firefly

sand is pre-sun dust

 

From the snow flurry of ash,

a chant of bees in new territory

 

We are only passing

Moths tear at cocoons
