Of Gold and Ego: Versailles in the People’s House The content reflects on the symbolism of the People's House, likening it to a modern-day Versailles, transformed by ego and excess. It emphasizes the need for remembrance and vigilance against tyranny, asserting that such spaces, built by the people, should serve all, not a single ruler. Awareness of historical patterns is crucial.

A golden house for a rented crown.
Versailles echoes in the People’s House—
and some of us have seen this play before.
This bardic dispatch sings truth in subtle tones.

Wenn ich
#Meer
wär …

Du: der Berg.

Die Ferne zieht mich,
treibe zurück.

Umfließe dich.

Wärme dich in sonnenerfüllten Fluten,
schmeichle dir, kröne dich mit meiner Gischt,

Werfe
meine Wellen
gegen dich, breche sie
mich
an deinen Kanten,
deinem Stein.
