Narrating Ends, Afterwards

The end comes

Always

It is a spelling mistake waiting

To happen

A solitude filled

With new beginnings

Two pairs of eyes meet

A door opens abstraction

Erasing a second a minute an hour a day

Passes and months years decades later

The end comes

Always and afterwards

It comes again

 

Dean Pasch is a visual artist, poet and filmmaker – born in England, he has lived in Germany since 1990. His poetry has featured in Mannequin Envy, Niederngasse, Tiferet, Quill & Parchment, and in books – ‘Chopin with Cherries’ (Moonrise Press) and ‘Woman in Metaphor’ (Natural Healing House Press). He has also presented his poetry and visual work in a Los Angeles tour, including readings at Moonday (VillageBooks) and Beyond Baroque.

His pictures have been used for cd covers (Tamir Hendelman’s ‘Destinations’ / Resonance Records) and book covers (‘Savage Sunsets’ – poems by Adrian C. Louis / West End Press)

About his work he says:

“I am drawn to the idea that being-ness is revealed by its disappearance … that invisibility is a metaphor for silence … and that silence is another way of holding one’s breath for a good time to breathe.”
