Photos with poems

Photography captures a moment; a short poem can reveal its soul. When image and verse meet, a new story emerges – one with deeper meaning, unexpected layers, and subtle, hidden connections.

The key to this union was discovered in the form of so‑called vertical poetry. This way of writing fits naturally with the visual world and opens up space for quiet reflection, surprise, and emotion. It has become a form of expression that feels completely authentic – and remains a constant source of fascination. 


Preparation


Who will come

remains to be seen,

there will be a chime

of what is yet unknown,

everything will be laid down,

only on the table

the gaze rested on.

Imperfection


Crowns in the swirl of the wind,

I am lost,

I do not see

what I am meant to see,

imperfection of perception,

blindness

leaning on a white cane,

I kneel down to the ground,

with my head

in my hands,

sunk

at the crossroads

of all senses.
