A small, colourful street-art piece by Eddie Mulk can be found on a dark brick wall at the Altes Postlager in Mainz, Germany. At its centre is a stylised, cartoon-like parrot with pink plumage and turquoise wings, perched on a narrow ledge. Above the bird, a speech bubble displays the words “Stay together, learn the flowers, go light”.

The wording comes from the poem „For the Children“ by American poet Gary Snyder, published in his 1974 collection „Turtle Island“. The lines bring together ideas of solidarity, attentiveness to nature and a lighter way of living. Paired with the quirky, imaginative character, they create a playful composition that contrasts with the restrained architecture surrounding it.
