DIE WANDLUNG
(THE TRANSFORMATION)
In this house where I
a child grew snow has entered
drifts where I have dreamed
plays inside(where once I watched
it fall outside) in wonder.
*
ICH WEISS...ICH WEISS!
(I KNOW...I KNOW!)
Snow climbs the stair where
once I had head over heels
charged down to see it
begged like the child I was then
to go outside...inside...now.
*
DU BLEIBT...DU BLEIBT!
(YOU REMAIN...YOU REMAIN!)
Snow eager to see
me after such long ago
roams through room after
room...mindless now of time it
human now...I...the falling.
*
DER HIMMEL HINABSTEIGT
(THE SKY DESCENDS)
I watch Time grow old
see it fail to remembeer
what it should remem...
this house & I falling through
its fingers...lettting us go!
*
AUFGABE
(RELINQUISHMENT)
Language strolling down
memory lane...picking its fruit
laughter & sadness
growing from the same branches
tasting now bitter...now...sweet.
*
WELCH EIN SPIEL
(WHAT A GAME!)
All my life I've been
saying 'NO! ' to YES & 'YES! '
to NO...knowing I
know nothing of everything
I should know...could know...but...don't.
