The Arena in Pula.

"who will fashion petrichor
from absent rain
tomorrow

or when taller mountains drown
in ice-melt
sorrow

who will suck from ancient stones
their non-existent
marrow

and when mother earth lies still
find all fields
fallow"

There are worse ways to go.

"If we reject the idea that phantoms are struck by 'ruinenlust', their association with the broken buildings needs explanation. Is it that our imaginations require half-standing structures to be ghosted? Is it because we are so gripped by our own ruin lust that we summon from stones?" – CJosiffe via @hookland.bsky.social

"In this regime, desire does not disappear—it metastasizes." (via Mefi)
