Friday Poems / ShortPoems 15.09.2017 / 19.03.2017





Elderflowers
    Deep in
Winter
And
Yet
Drinking
Elderflower
Syrup
Diluted
    With
Water

Ashes
    After the
Volcanic
Eruption
Even
The
Sweet honey
Just
    Is changed
T ashes

Sundial
    The big
Sundial
At
A House
In
Merheim
Had been
Dismantled
But
It has
    Already been
Winter
Merheim – suburb of Cologne, die sundial had been
near the house, where my parents lived early in the 1950ies.

Cologne
    The small
Rat
In the
Suburb
Nearly
Had it
Run
    Across
My foot

Hope
    Spring
Has been
So full
Of
Hope
But
Then
The year
Tends
Again
    To come
To an end

Marshaling Yard
    At the
Marshaling
Yard
Wagons
Bounce
At each other
And
Brakes
Squeak
Everything
As
With
    People
Too

Winter Sun
    The game
Of the
Pallid
Winter sun
On
The
Bark
Of
The
Chestnut tree
The
Message
    Decrypts
Slow - ly

Soul
    The soul
Is not
Made
Of
Space
Line
Point
It
Consists
    Only in
Time

Secret Service
    Do not
Dare
To
Erase
My
Oeuvre
All of
Which
You
Have
Gathered
    Over
The years
