Heaven is above
specters are below
as long as I wait
and hope
everything will be different
I’ll hover in between
finding no middle ground
EXPERIENCE
Enrique Vila-Matas. Exemplary Suicides
Rosa Schwarzer is an attendant in the Paul Klee room at a museum in Düsseldorf. It’s among these pictures, where she comes to terms with her one-day escape from her everyday life. On the previous day, she turned 50 and no one came to eat her famous suckling pig meal—husband and sons prepared excuses. She takes the leap out of her life, lands in the park with a drunk, has a new experience and lives on.
