Förhäxad

4e Juni 2009


Vad du har lyft mig högt Sydafrika, matat mig med solsken, berikat mig. Skämt bort min själ.

Har du förhäxat mig, förgiftat mig...medvetet, strategiskt, enligt tolvstegs programmets alla underverk?

Är det här jag måste sätta stopp för mitt begär av....MEEERA...ge mig, DIG!!! Mata min själ med....RUUS, med passion. Släng upp mig åter bland molnen!!



Men det gör ont i kroppen, i axlarna

Du sliter ut mig!

Ifrågasätter mig

Kräver och kräver...

Räcker jag till?



Reflection

20 May 2009


1 month has passed, stop the time please...just for a short moment, I need to catch my breath, open my eyes, free my senses, more today than yesterday. Let it all stand still! I want to carefully inspect, analyze, the details of ecstasy, of devastation, bliss hand in hand with the misery I am seeing. South Africa, you are astounding!

Welcome to "Refugee Inn"



We're sorry, we're currently fully booked, please ask the reception on the streets for shelter!



Self-service is the rule!



Donations are a must!




This is not a storage room, it's one of the "Couple's" rooms



You'll be sharing with 2000 other refugees!

Imaginary man

23rd April 2009


Call me Mr. X!
I live on the streets. Yes, here's my spot, right here, between the two windows and the pole.

You can't see the lines because they are not marked in colour

but we all know. We just know our own borders


This carbord was for free, this one I had to pay for.

What a loss! I was new on the streets, didn't know the prices

I guess I did well anyway, I'm still here right!?

I also have my blankets to keep me warm at night. But my neighbour has a sleeping bag.

I must admit I am jealous.


I have been here for three weeks now. The days have been long.

The sun doesn't burn like back home, it's as if it spreads cold light.

Heatless sunbeams

I miss my shade that used to keep me cool

My run-away tree

The hot sun I know


I close my eyes and pretend I'm there

HOME...

My neighbour does the same

We leave....

With or without section 23, a work permit, asylum status

HOME.....

I don't even understand why they created so many names for our status

We are....without identity


To my market....

To my streets....

With a hand full of

Identity.....

Pride....

Confidence....


Yes, I am Mr. X

One of the refugees

Not even that any longer

I am garbage

At least that's what they shout

When cleaning up the streets

Where I live.
