In her color theory, Elke Marion Weiß combines snapshots and color impressions, colors life with emotions and captures the feeling of late summer turning into autumn. The second part is devoted to interpersonal relationships as an intermezzo, while in the third part of this comprehensive volume the poet takes up the previously mentioned motif of the garden and nature by dedicating herself to herbs and spices and giving taste to what she has experienced. Finally, there is an epilogue about the transience of life.
