Mojca Sovdat: I am an animal.
I am an
animal. Nature within me. Vulnerable, scared, I am slowly approaching and moving
away.
I am watching, I see you. I back away, I accustom.
Restlessness and undulation in my movements. I am an animal. I am all extinct animals. They all are within me. I honor them.
Worship of uniqueness with the sadness of disappearing.
They're gone, I'm leaving.
Can you hear my screaming, fighting, stamping, sounds of whales?
The last sounds of someone disappearing.
What happens when silence arise
when footsteps disappear
when last animal disappears
when I disappear?
Twitching movements. I gaze at you, I dance the last dance, I worship everything inside me because they are in me.
Every movement, sound, absence of movement, silence, scream, swing, jump, liveliness in the hands, light body, fear,
I am standing on my head, circling, loving, getting lost, crying, singing to you, leaving, resonating, everything within me is nature, animals, their lives.
When darkness comes, when I resound
I leave behind worshipping, ecstasy, sadness, fascination, tears,
nature
disappearing before your eyes.
