Special porridge for breakfast
Early start across the fields
Broken engines and boat parts strewn in the dew-cold grass

Here is the enormous oil tank empty of oil and dark inside
A museum of naval machinery hulks
The rust-crunching floor between standing waters echoes from under our feet
High above us rust-holes in the roof cast thin bright beams projecting astonishing upside down pinhole suns with clouds chasing onto the continuous curved and riveted iron wall
A neolithic cinema
Elsewhere fragmented fractal projections though smoke
One door wide to the light

Stereo pair and laptop set up
Swimming in surround sound
Deep water, deep time
The German fleet was scuppered here

Did the early humans build their temples of darkness and silence in order to emerge with newed consciousness into the sound and into the light?

And here we are in the bright sun again and the wind, not knowing each other or the music we have made
