about

Eurydice

(Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus, the gods‘ troubadour. She was mortally bitten by a snake. The mournful singing of her loving husband moved the gods and nymphs, and they advised him to look for his wife in the realm of Hades. There, Orpheus sang for Pluto and Persephone; he became the sole human who had succeeded at finding soft strings in their hearts. He was allowed to take Eurydice back to the world of the living, provided that he would not turn around to see her before they reach the world of the living. However, Orpheus could not restrain himself: he did turn around, and Eurydice vanished...)

lyrics

I
walk

my arms
keep growing

soon
blood-carrying branches
will crop up
on them

owls
will perch on those branches
and puff
into my eyes

I can
hardly
see you

the living
walk
too fast

I
walk
behind
you

my arms
keep growing
soon
they will blossom
with mammalian flowers
worms
will eat those flowers
and
will cough up my blood


I can
hardly
hear you

the living
forget
too soon

I
walk
behind
you

step after step

my arms
keep growing
soon
carnivorous berries
will ripen
on them

the wicked
will drink
the juice of the berries
they will think
I am
the tree
of Eden

the dead
have
no voice

turn around

I am
your
wife
for the rest
of our
death

look
at me

and

you
go
on

I‘ll
stay
here

forever
