Cathedral 2022 – 1985 – 1932 Borne like that Biblical anti-hero through Behemoth’s Canyon lumina, I explore the desiccated hull of Utopia. On an early evening in April, the shell of the Grand Hall glows – Tremulous, unearthly – but not with prayers. Graffiti - like stigmata - garbled, posthumous intimation of Lust and wrath, hushed and quashed – Thoughts entertained in secreto – By youngsters, forty years ago, at their Jugendweihe: Coming-of-age confirmation of their Future role as cannon, institute, and factory-fodder; Class snitches and lickspittles Shortlisted as potential informants and operatives. Or, of the Clenched curses of an ancient apparatchik in the treatment room, Saltwater-flushed to quicken sluggish bowels, Sibilant in his disdain for the Moony foreign peaceniks from Berkeley, Islington, Liverpool and the Left Bank, Fêted and rhapsodized that afternoon in the Grand Hall. Sandalistas, as they’re known in Nicaragua, recalled at lunch Gagging on lymph-node Bratwurst - stunned fingertips Flicking reflexively from conductive, cheap-alloy Spoons dipped in hot tea; or Bitching about the flimsy, brittle toilet-seat lid that Snapped under foot while They towelled themselves that morning. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 Karl Marks, they quip, like amused parents, as they weigh up the Featherlight Toytown notes and coins in their palms. Later that evening at the disco, they deposit large Goethe-faced denominations in the solidarity kitty For Daniel Ortega, eliciting Gold-capped, grimaced grins of contempt and rebuke from Minor functionaries and spa-resort workers. These Sandalistas remind the apparatchik of that International Man of Letters on his State visit to Moscow, fifty-odd years before: Unworldly Fabian, beard of Marx or Old Testament patriarch, Abounding in bon mots about Wilde and Whistler, Plied with caviar, pelmeni, Georgian wine, cigars and Armenian brandy. While the nations starved under Forced collectivization - Holodomor. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2022 Graffiti-laden walls with crumbling plaster of a corridor in a ruined former East German spa resort. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2022 Graffiti-laden walls with crumbling plaster & columns in the main function hall of a ruined former East German spa resort. Monumental, floor-to-ceiling windows without glass on the left admitting evening light.
