Biography:
German-born, Kai Lossgott lives and works in Cape Town. In search of poetry, he travelled from paper to canvas, from theatre to film, and into digital media. In his performances, poems, experimental films and plant leaf engravings, he investigates biophysical language patterns and the vulnerable instincts which drive them sensitivity, silence, and acts of sensing. In a human-centred world, his aim is most often to work from a life-centred perspective.

The day had drunken deep of me And on this incandescent loom
as I lay in the cool and white
dry drizzle woke me in the night
a buzzing little bee
struggling to enter the electric bloom
of the kitchen light
the final fire of the day
like Icarus in his cold ire
dead certain like a psychopath
pitting his wings against the heat
the day was what kept him alive
I tapped the switch, unbarred the glass
eavesdropping until he was gone
on the hive
