Photo: A black-and-white, ICM shot of a huge flock of blackbirds flying low to the ground, crossing a stream. The air appears thick with birds and water spray. This scene appears in front of a line of bare trees marking the edge of a wooded area. The entire scene is shot at close-to-medium range to highlight the intensity of the flock’s movement; only the trunks of the closest background trees are visible.

(Reposting, due to tag issues yesterday)

Painting: A mixed media abstract landscape on an unnaturally greenish background; land is arranged in a somewhat circular formation, and a bare tree appears upper left. The entire painting is covered with random marks, creating visual texture.

Trinitite Instant as Movement and momentum - Seeking alms from villagers, Shirking the world for the Sake of the Real - to Surrender care for Tomorrow, to Make humble-true Plain flesh. Like those earliest Wanderers whose Pictographs litter the Rocks of the range, they Source food, remedy and Narcotic from Beast-plants edging the Dead Man’s Journey. Cool crevasse Pocketing water to Slake their drouth. Blind-from-birth Sight of white Flash to Flux their instant - in a Split-second Charge-pulse of Neutron flight. Copper-iron embodiment, Soul-grit redemption seed: Now Unearthly isotope of verdant Alamogordo Glass. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026

This serene photo captures a misty spring morning by a tranquil pond, gazing toward a small forest bathed in soft dawn light. A calm pond dominates the foreground, its mirror-like surface reflecting the glowing sun, blurry sunbeams, surrounding trees, and rising mist. Deciduous trees with fresh green buds line the water’s edge, transitioning to denser woods in the background, suggesting early spring renewal, while wispy fog hovers low over the water and among trunks, softening edges and creating depth. The low sun casts warm orange highlights on the mist and branches, contrasting the cool blue skies above, with subtle bokeh from leaves in the upper corners drawing the eye to the central glow. Overall, the image conveys a quiet awakening, evoking peaceful stillness ideal for a meditative walk in Sanssouci Park Potsdam.

Spring dreams
Good morning you all, have a wonderful Friday wherever you are.

Mother and Son Converse in an Ancient Crypt After Сон (“Dream”, 1910), Alexander Blok (1880-1921), Russian Symbolist I meet you in Dreams as a Matter of course. This night, We lie side by side in an Ancient crypt. Above us, Life rumbles on in Ever more voluble Boom-claps of Hubbub and Bedlam – Until the Last Day is upon us. Vague glimmer of Paschal Sunday; Far-flung Clamour of Swooning bugle. Our Catacomb is Copper-cast, but Pulsates within a Ruddy-gauzy Film of light. Wrapped in Vapours of Sunday-school Monotony and Incredulity - His Features surface, Clustered about with Swords and angels. Entombed with us, a Placid spouse shuns Rebirth, spurns Emancipation - Slumbers on in Oblivion. You whisper: In life, you were Sturdy and burly. Press harder on the Vault, and the Stone will Roll away. I answer: No, Mother - the Strength I once had has gone. I’ve suffocated in the tomb. Pray, both of you, for an angel to Come along and Roll away the Stone. Free adaptation from the Russian: ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Cathedral 2022 – 1985 – 1932 Borne like that Biblical anti-hero through Behemoth’s Canyon lumina, I explore the desiccated hull of Utopia. On an early evening in April, the shell of the Grand Hall glows – Tremulous, unearthly – but not with prayers. Graffiti - like stigmata - garbled, posthumous intimation of Lust and wrath, hushed and quashed – Thoughts entertained in secreto – By youngsters, forty years ago, at their Jugendweihe: Coming-of-age confirmation of their Future role as cannon, institute, and factory-fodder; Class snitches and lickspittles Shortlisted as potential informants and operatives. Or, of the Clenched curses of an ancient apparatchik in the treatment room, Saltwater-flushed to quicken sluggish bowels, Sibilant in his disdain for the Moony foreign peaceniks from Berkeley, Islington, Liverpool and the Left Bank, Fêted and rhapsodized that afternoon in the Grand Hall. Sandalistas, as they’re known in Nicaragua, recalled at lunch Gagging on lymph-node Bratwurst - stunned fingertips Flicking reflexively from conductive, cheap-alloy Spoons dipped in hot tea; or Bitching about the flimsy, brittle toilet-seat lid that Snapped under foot while They towelled themselves that morning. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Karl Marks, they quip, like amused parents, as they weigh up the Featherlight Toytown notes and coins in their palms. Later that evening at the disco, they deposit large Goethe-faced denominations in the solidarity kitty For Daniel Ortega, eliciting Gold-capped, grimaced grins of contempt and rebuke from Minor functionaries and spa-resort workers. These Sandalistas remind the apparatchik of that International Man of Letters on his State visit to Moscow, fifty-odd years before: Unworldly Fabian, beard of Marx or Old Testament patriarch, Abounding in bon mots about Wilde and Whistler, Plied with caviar, pelmeni, Georgian wine, cigars and Armenian brandy. While the nations starved under Forced collectivization - Holodomor. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Horace Mother misses him, though They never meet. He departs Ten years before she Arrives. Her absent grandfathers: One gets a whiff of mustard gas as Medical orderly in 1917, Marking him out for Midwinter infarction some Thirty years hence. This one we’re not sure about: Kidney disease? Late complications from a Mining accident? He dies young at forty-six. Colliery life plots the Bloodline, but stops there. His father is farrier who Ministers to pit ponies in an Amber Valley hamlet. Across the county line, in a Neighbouring village, Miner sires a frail prodigy, Earmarked for erudition, Notoriety, and an early Death at forty-four. Near-contemporaries, They could be body doubles: Slim build, fair hair. 1912 or thereabouts, my Great-grandsire, Horace, then Twenty-one: Pictured with fiancée, Elsie – both Paragons of Edwardian propriety. He is young Lawrence before that Trademark Eugenicist-hipster beard appears; before Eloping that very year with Frieda, his Former tutor’s wife. Horace stays true to Elsie, to Death: His rich inner life unlived – Funnelled now, in my Imagination, through that Vivid, consumptive frame, that Fecund, frenzied intellect. Horace – timekeeper, season’s sentinel, Carpe Diem’s Etruscan archetype: Questing escape and renewal in Tuscany, Sardinia, New Mexico, Kangaroo. Its raw natural beauty stuns him, but Australia dismays Lawrence with its Egalitarian recklessness, its dearth of Inner meaning. Horace sires two girls, one of whom Births a Ten-Pound-Pom daughter, Drawn to New South Wales by its Homespun abundance, its Dearth of airs – of “Meaning.” ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Irma In a Buzz-jolt of Tarok and cigars, he is Irked when his Junior remarks “She is better, but not quite Well.” Neurotic Paralysis of the female sex, Common enough in these parts. He writes up her Case history that evening. Then He meets her in a Dream – where, as Unbidden Presence at his Wife’s birthday party, She complains of Dreadful throat pains. He Takes her aside. “It’s really only your Fault if you’re still Suffering, Gnädige Frau.” Alarmed at how Pale and puffy she looks, he Escorts her to the light at the Window. Can’t get her Mouth open. Typical Recalcitrance of Women with dentures. Her Jaw slackens. He is Stunned at the sight of Turbinal nose bones Spreading like Stubble-flecked Mildew on the Right side of her Oral cavity. His Junior assures him “there is no Infection, but the toxin will be Eliminated.” They confer, agreeing on the Careful application of der Spritzer, a Squirt-needle that will ease her Affliction. He is Perplexed: These are not her Symptoms, and No way is she Stand-in for patients with Choking hysteria. He Settles on Wish fulfilment by proxy in Dreams. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026

She needs full Coitus to Unfreeze her. Twenty-eight years pass. Dirty, Cylindrical Delivery of Nicotine and Tar prompts Cancerous patches to Appear on the right Anterior Palate. Ten years of Thirty surgeries to Excise Pallid-grey, Nipple-spike Leukoplakia, Creating an Open Sightline from Mouth-gape to Turbinal bone in the Nasal cavity. Now he uses a Crude prosthetic to Talk and eat. Often Lockjawed and in Constant agony, he Seeks the Coup de grâce Gnadenschuss, which Arrives in Hampstead in 1939 - At the Head of a Sterilized Squirt-needle. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026

Einhornhöhle* My tusk-horn, Erupted from lip or lobe, Ground into dust and flakes, Mixed with saffron and cochineal, To ward off plague, To purify tainted water. Intact, my spiral Seals diplomatic missions, Shields Grand Inquisitor from Assassins and poison quills. My marrow, melted by groundwater, Opens up hollows in the Karst landscape - now cave-lit by a Thickset folk at their Glacial Maximum, Forking fire and flint. Brow-rounded, Winter-hardy, they cook my giant-deer Phalanx, etching Europe’s first Artwork out of my Softened hoof ridge. Later Magdalenians Venerate my antlered form, Skull-cupped libations sprinkled on My lardered carcasses. Of my soul and Flesh, they make meat, drink, home, hide, Hearth, spear and spindle. Age-of-Light sage, librarian, Charmed by his calculus of blind Conjecture, recreates my skeleton in a Sketch – bones cribbed from Mandible, scapula, femur, and Humerus of the Sabre-toothed. But one who truly knows me - Hermit, sightless seer, Wild-wise woman – meets me in a Dream; gently pats my mane, Croup, coronet, withers, and fetlocks – Cups My twisted cone, richly innervated - Senses, through her fingertips, that She is in mortal danger - From a Clutch of Frankish shock troops Closing in on her cave. Vanguard of a new creed that Commands us to make meat and Drink of their hanged god, they are Led-tipped and goaded by a Black-clad mad monk, Saxon Savonarola. I bear her away in haste to the Sanctuary of the Brocken Coven. Finding the cave void of his prey, The monk whooshes into a pillar of Violet flame that reduces him to a Bubbling, blistering pool of pitch. Seeping into Earth’s deep cisterns, it Cools, hardens into Black beads, pearls, gems that will, in Time, line the Ribbed vaults of my Mammoth-aurochs Ossuary. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 *Unicorn Cave
