Friday Poems / ShortPoems 23.06.2017 / 23.12.2016





Hell
    Where do
You
Look
For
Hell?
Deep
Below
Yourself?
Deep
Below
It may
Well be
Beneath
    The abysses
Of your soul

Notes
    Certainly
You
May
Also
Take
Notes
On the smartphone
But
Yet
It is
    Not a
Notebook

Underground
    Underground
Is
A
Foretaste
As
How
It
May be
    Below
Ground

Estuary
    The
Achievement
Of
The river
Is
The estuary
And
There
    He dies
After all

Auschwitz
    One does
Not
Know
All
The names
Of the
Murderers
But
None
Wearing
The
Mark of Cain
    On the
Forehead

Heaven
    Just
Because
We are
So
Small
We
Will
Always
Try
    To touch
The sky
                        Sky and heaven are both Himmel in German

Executioner
    The hangman
Had
Certainly
Been
Touched
As
The
Delinquent
Shook hands
With him
    And
Smiled
