Winter Insomnia

You were turned inside out
a bleeding desire
for thousands of breaths
Night brought redemption
the opaque veil
You shared it with an animal
sleepless like you
Companions for a while
whose tracks in the snow
carried twin DNA

(written in January 2013 after reading Raymond Carver‘s poem 'Winter Insomnia')

Königsblau

Nachts
dehnt sich das Haus,
kämmt der Baum seine Schatten,
und das Kind, das du warst,
gießt dir Tinte ins Blut.

Royal Blue

At night
the house expands,
the tree combs its shadows,
and the child you once were
pours ink into your blood.

Finally (One day)

One day we‘ll
finally be
unenclosed

We will pass into
the salty air
of our longings

We will fly sky wide
in all directions
at once

And we will
finally be
no more

and no less

Spuren

Wer hat den Himmel gespannt
von hier
bis zu jenem Strand?

Unsere Spuren –
längst fort.

Waren wir wirklich dort?
