pon ding x Nunu Fine Art: Kaspar Bonnén Poetry and Sculpture Workshop
I am a room full of crucial facts.
Your face is proven, like folds in fabric,
and the pillow fills out the space that no one left to me.
I lie in a room I can’t leave
until the bodies of new hours come
and, shining, abandon any dimensionality.
——— Kaspar Bonnén, Apartment
