Kristian<p>10pm or something like this, slowly phasing out of this day. There's still a feeling a promise an idea of light floating across the roofs and streets and meadows and parks. Late news on huge screens, a same as late Sunday dinner on a huge table, candle-lit and close enough to the balcony door to see and be seen, watch and be watched. Taking a few notes of what kept this mind moving today, and then backing off to let the dreams float in again. Have a calm night wherever you are.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=half+awake+half+asleep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>half awake half asleep</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Vorabend, irgendwann. Feuchte Steine, feuchte Erde und unter der großen Tanne zeichnet ein staubiger Kreis die Grenzen der heutigen Schauer. Einige Wohnungen weiter unten dröhnen Möbelbewegungen durch anscheinend fast leere Räume, gelegentlich unterbrochen von verschiedenfarbigem Klirren und gepressten Schimpfworten. Dinge, die man am Nachmittag beginnt, will man erledigt haben, bevor mit dem dünner werdenden Tag die Unzufriedenheit wächst. Erfolglose Suche nach passender Musik.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=in+between" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>in between</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>3pm, changing places, and the aesthetics of waiting rooms. Slightly too early from trying to avoid being late. Watching birds outside, and struggling to not notice the close environment and its unique characteristics. The scent of disinfectant and the sound of drills.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=other+places" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>other places</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Somewhere out there in there, later. Ending a filled dense day. Head still spinning, with a lots of thoughts and images revolving around a restless center. New tasks collected, old ones written forth, and a lot of timeless dust refuses to settle. Also, missing superpowers: Being off to bed early, no matter the intention to do so. Another hot tea instead. Wondering about sleep as an ephemeral phenomenon. Have a soft night wherever you are.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=half+awake+half+asleep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>half awake half asleep</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Andere Gassen, andere Höfe. Eine Idee von milderen Wochen, Menschen aller Alter sitzen auf den Bänken neben den Fassaden. Flaschen klirren leise, Rauch von Tabak und anderen Kräutern erfüllt die Sekunde. Gesichter lachen von Bildschirmen, fremde Worte formulieren fremde Geschichten mit einem Hauch von Freude, einem Gefühl von Schwermut und jeder Menge Leben.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm and still on. Adding new open ends to hide the existing ones. Tasks of the morning just suspended, wondering what they will be up to in the meantime and devoid of attention and control. Sun on windowsills. And no mood in the afternoon that stands some verbal description.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Kurs zurück durch andere Gassen. Immer trotzdem zu nah an allem, zu viele Düfte und Stimmen und Worte, die nicht zur eigenen Sammlung passen sollen. Ein neues Schaufenster offeriert geschmacklose Outfits, in deren Preis ein ganzes Monatsgehalt bequem Platz findet. Direkt daneben verkauft ein älterer Herr mit furchigem Gesicht unter dem grauen Bart zweifarbige Straßenzeitungen. Hoher Pastellhimmel. Und die Stadt atmet Staub, Kälte und Rost.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+are+we+are" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we are we are</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Schatten, grelle Wärme, Schatten. Am Flusslauf spielen Kinder, die Fähre schlägt hart gegen den Anleger. Eine Wiese voller Frühblüher, daneben alte Pavillons und gelegentlich Eichhörnchen. Das Fordernde in der Nähe zu vieler Menschen.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=sunday+afternoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sunday afternoon</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+spring+in+things" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>the spring in things</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>(Manchmal sammelt sich auch in den kalten Monaten das Viertel beim Dönergrill. Mittelmäßiges Bier, Gedränge im Eingangsbereich, aber man kennt sich und das Essen schmeckt und irgendwie schafft man es dann auch wieder nach Hause, wirft Türen ins Schloss, zündet einige Kerzen an. Und überlegt angestrengt, wo man den leeren planlosen Morgen zurückließ.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Und Sonntagabend, andere Stunde, gleicher Ort. Küchendynamik und alte Musik und neue alte Sorgen und die Seele irgendwo zwischendrin. Immer noch fehlt Lieblingstee, aber man gewöhnt sich an Alternativen. Ordnung schaffen, erratisch und eher getrieben als gezielt. Katze schläft und ignoriert. Mond lässt noch auf sich warten.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=afternoon+city+blues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>afternoon city blues</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Ungewohnte Orte, fast vergessene Moderne und die Stille von Bibliotheken. Für einen Augenblick zeichnet Vorabend scharfe Kontraste auf den roten Teppich, halblaute Unterhaltungen treiben zwischen Mauern und Pflanzen. Studenten sitzen hinter den großen Fenstern vor der breiten Straße, deren Trubel und Treiben im gläsernen Abstand wie ein Stummfilm wirkt. Es gibt Kuchen und warme Getränke und die Dame hinter dem Tresen übt sich in jener sympathischen Freundlichkeit, mit der die Schüchternen sich durch die Zeit zu helfen versuchen. Mit klaren Zielen ankommen, erfolglos wieder von dannen ziehen und trotzdem mit freundlichen Bildern den Abend begrüßen.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=always+in+between" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>always in between</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 4pm. The later the day the more demanding the things to float by. Missing magic skills: Finding good words for less good realities. And doing so without falling prey to caffeine and chocolate on an hourly basis. Headphones silenced, voices echoing, a train in the station and the city a distant hum.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm, closing the gate, heading forth. Scent of soil and dried wood on and in everything. Long shadows, a setting sun, and a soothing warmth on a slightly tired face.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=urban+gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urban gardening</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>(Aufbruch unter Tageslicht, Ankunft im Halbgrau von Wetter bis Staub und Katze. Dunkle Zuflucht der Wohnräume, keine Kerzen, keine Bewegung. Versteckt bleiben hinter Büchern und Tulpen. Die Linien des Denkens durch Grübeln und Sarkasmus.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=escapism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>escapism</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 4pm. Washing dishes and mugs and wiping some dust off the keyboard. A departing airplane crossing low sun. Kids out in the streets again, savouring the unusually warm afternoon. Taking a few steps to get into more fluid motion again. Feeling as rusty and tense as could probably be, hours after falling out of bed.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Dann verhallt die Woche, wie sie irgendwann begann: Im Sessel hinter dem Fenster fern der See nah der See, das Blinken und Leuchten der Schiffe und der tanzenden Bojen zu Füßen, beeindruckt, überwältigt, ungläubig. Etliche Stunden weiter leert man die Flasche, navigiert durch eine überwältigende Ladung von Bildern, Steine, Sand, Wellen, nur in Nuancen unterschiedlich, und versucht, Erinnerungen daran haften zu lassen, die es bis ins Morgen schaffen. Kaum Wind heute, den Geist in den Schlaf zu singen. Irgendwo zwischen Heimweh und Fernweh in einem Spektrum des Undefinierten, das einen aufgewühlt und mit vielen Fragen zurücklässt. Have a quiet night wherever you are.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+sea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>the sea</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=contemplating+focus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contemplating focus</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Zwischen den Häusern der anderen Stadt liegt der Atem von Kohlenöfen. In einem Vorgarten blieb ein Tannenbaum hell erleuchtet, die Fenster dahinter sind dafür merklich dunkler. Eine alte Frau geht mit einem alten Hund spazieren, dicke Pudelmütze über wettergegerbter Haut, und raucht in tiefen Zügen. Die Crew eines Transportschiffs hat ihr Gefährt vertäut und eilt durch die Kälte in die junge Nacht. Bewegung und Innehalten in stillen Häfen.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+sea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>the sea</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+are+we+are" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>where we are we are</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=escapism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>escapism</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>6pm, time differences, slowdown and frost still. Watching evening unfold on the sidelines of the flow. Calming. As s conscious and demanding effort. Maybe it works out.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Later than usual. Heading home. Watching the lights blinking on cars in a long queue. Temporarily enticed by seeing how the subtly different frequencies then and now seem aligned for a few beats to then drift apart again. Too many faces and a load more stimuli to scratch an already tensed surface. Returning. Stepwise.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=in+between" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>in between</span></a></p>
Kristian (inactive/moved)<p>Innehalten nach schneller Fahrt, die immer in die falsche Richtung zu führen scheint. Den Wechsel der Nachbarschaften erkannt an den Schemen und Strukturen, die sich durch den Rand des Sichtfeldes schleichen. Tee an der Heizung, während die Kinder unten jene Energie abtoben, die der Wohnungsdonnerstag offenbar zurückließ. Lieder, laut und falsch. Bausteine schlagen hart auf den Boden. Eine beschwichtigende Stimme verhallt erfolglos. Und wieder Regen auf den Blechen.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a></p>
