The poem combines aspects of love, death, and nature in one piece. Originally it consisted of three parts: text, photography, and sound. In the Flash version these parts are arranged in a loop completed by a minimalist interface (to pause).

cursed be the god that brings so much death and beauty
the day i die she will rise up
the day i die she will sleep
to see this or this or this, i must record everything/ before my father is gone, before i am gone
text, photography, sound: Alan Sondheim; composed by Reiner Strasser, Spt. 2005
