Description

I wrote these things as celebrations of the resurrection. In the hope of the resurrection of the dead. To exorcise death, which we ourselves feed with our flesh. Invocations of joy and beauty. Whoever is joyful and loves beauty fights better. Resurrected bodies are more beautiful warriors because they bring in their hands the colors of the rainbow. And so bodies are transformed into seed which impregnates the earth so the future can be born. . . .
