Artist Tanya Ury wrote this poem after attending the film premiere of BRAND III in Cologne in May 2018.

anima

take me
home
to sway
not storm
-free
branches

rest in
forest
easy days

singularly
together
in tree
resistance

you were
given the
rest for
lunging at
energised
heads

taking
air from
open
mouths

infesting
it with
residue

the dues
a shade
too dark
for
breathing
lungs

so
serious
was the
play in
leaves
they
brought
you down

and green
was bought
and sold

our cry
for future
breath
beauty
died
