TE15 Lithuanian Honey Cake

Sjón

THE STONE COLLECTOR as a child is playing with precious and semi precious stones on the floor of his childhood room. with a small hammer he breaks open small geodes to reveal their wonderful crystal coated insides. the stones’ many bright colours play on his hands and face, shimmer on the walls and ceiling like water in a grotto.

THE STONE COLLECTOR knock – open

knock knock – open up knock knock knock – open up earth

cold on a child’s warm skin mineral candies glimmer like ripe fruits sweet berries on the tongues of his eyes

I knock on you – earth I knock on your door – earth I knock on you with my little man’s hammer
