Seeing Aura

Philosophenweg | Walter Benjamin
1

Benjamin's ghost lingers
in the museum bookshop.

He whispers of auras,
a hushed reverence for the original.

The weight of history, he says,
the echo of the artisan's hand.

But I’m staring at a print,
a mass-produced imposter.

And still, I feel it.

A shudder.
A quickening.

Philosophenweg
In Leschnitz, Silesia, the Philosophenweg winds through the fog, blurring the edges. Annaberg below, a dream unraveling—buildings twist like thoughts at dusk, colors smudge into memory. Reality and fantasy meet here, in the space between breaths, in the shadows where the light almost touches.
