Spirit rules secretly alone the body achieves nothing

About

By 2050 there will more plastic than fish in the sea
The anthropocene, the “ungrievable grievous place”

Holometabolous metamorphosis: alchemical transformation

Folding inward, perfectly- lie down under the blue. What we do alone.

Red buries herself with a candle burning the oxygen. She is visited by ghosts and may become one herself.

Red goes outside where it’s still warm and the air smells like roses; I am not sure this really happened.

What it is live in mourning, to have it live in the air - the dust of it, whether it is a person or the moths and flowers disappearing.

The mirrors reflect a dreamy hallucinogenic world; is she seeing herself, her double, or a ghost? Red inverts to blue, awake, asleep, alone, squeezing her eyes closed swirls of color flowering, quietly...

What fires a burning room? The room will burn, then the next, then the building, the city, the earth...
