Three Folds
Three chairs
The one
empty
The other
tipped off
The third
one ajar
Three coffee
cups
The one
empty
The other
tipped
The third
still steams
Three folds
The one
spirit
The other
son
The third
god
Dreifaltigkeit – Trinity
Drei Faltigkeit – three folds / crinkliness
Friendship
I was
looking for you in mirrors
But only saw
me
I was
looking for you in dreams
But only saw
me
Where are
you after death?
Do not find
you anymore
So there is
only me
In mirrors
and dreams
Out of
Paradise
Adam looked
back and Eve
Expelled
from paradise
Without
backpack, without belongings
It decayed
day by day
Was bare,
inhospitable, desolate
Then I took
Lilith and left
Through the night
The moon travels without hand luggage
The walls shake at the customhouse
A horse trots out of mist
In the forest soaked with shadow
The gate suddenly shrieks in the wind
The field is wrapped in silence
The morning snores away the day
And dreaming he was awake
Eternity
At the end
of time
A wind will
blow
Raise the
red dust
Dust
attached to dust
Until light
and heat disappeared
But when
will God breathe
Again into
the dust?
Cooled down
The evening
colors the gray of the streets
Swallows the
perfume of women
Office
floors emptying
Like flowers
Which close at
nightfall
Now moon and
frost may
Reclaim silver
from the asphalt
If Gaia knows
"Hey, I’ve
got homo sapiens." "That passes by itself."
If Gaia knows
What she does
Then it is right
Stretching and straining
Here a little scraping
There some trembling
To shake mankind
Off the fur
