Friday Poems / ShortPoems 14.04.2017 / 12.08.2016




Summer
    summer
is just
as
always
and
I dream
about
Printen
Zimtgebäck
    and
Dominoes

Printen are German Christmas gingerbread cookies.
Zimtgebäck are cinnamon pastries.
Dominosteine are cubic cookies filled with lebkuchen,
marzipan and apricot iced with dark chocolate.

Watching out
    one always
has to
watch out
in order
not
to run
into the
projectile
that was
    meant
for one

Rain
    rain
falls
down
without
any
consideration
as to
falling
    soft
or not

Days
    Just as
the days
began
becoming
longer
then
there
opened
typical
and un-
    typical
blossoms

Short poems
    in these
Short
poems
danger
and
bliss
lie
closely
together
to
disassemble
language
    to the
bone

Sleep
    these bright
summer nights
and
then
fireworks
just
the dead
    keep on
sleeping

Ink
    with blue
ink
you are
writing
a sea
of
waves
but what
was
Pablo Neruda
writing
    with green
ink?

Travel
    airports
50 years
ago
railway stations
a 100 years
ago
never
again
will
travel
attain
    this
flair

„Au-dessus des vieux volcans
Glisse tes ailes sous le tapis du vent
Voyage, voyage, éternellement”

Original German Version:
