#ontheway
Rooms and corridors,
stairs, streets, bridges, lanes, and paths:
all the time en route.

The tram on the hill sings
sound waves along its track
softly echoing off the trees
in the distance, I peer and
listen to their response
The wind carries the song
to the sky, I float along
in the full light where the owls
remain silent, their grey call
nowhere to be heard
Fortress, North and South House
Monk Village, Owl, Westfield
A humming sound, turbulence
from the platform in the cave
swallowing us up
A stalactite drips
everything shines smooth, auras
of those who lived here, echoes
of how it once was, and yet
it's just an ordinary ride

Just one road, nameless
on the map, that one of course --
am I following!

Every drop its own
pathway, that's how water makes --
its way to the sea.

The road has lost us,
we have left it, over there --
it's looking for us.

There is a boulder
in the middle of the road --
there is a boulder.

Not the way it is,
only the way it happens –
my life is okay.

I met Sharon, walked
her along unknown canals --
with bikes everywhere.

People like to talk
about the required signposts --
but who is going?

Our view from the train:
I ride away from the past --
she heads the future.

We are on the way,
and we know well: not one road --
leads to an end point.

Downstream, three buckets
of mayonnaise are sailing --
along with our boat.

There are just no ways
to our goals, we hesitate --
and saunter about.

Don't go anywhere,
there is a Way, you just walk --
That's living your life.

From the river, forest everywhere
with yellow knights, turkey tails
and white-bearded trees
Sometimes there is a silence
and I hear the treecreeper
here and there a stone
which is described
on the map of this area
a map that is not a map
but a summary
of intersections, bridges
and solitary trees
Tonight I will rest
in an easy chair
that important invention
after the folding chair, the tilting chair
the swivel chair and the wheelchair
luckily I'm whole inside
not shaken in a coach
with suspension
fit for a rest day
for considerations
about my journey and the world
accepts the outcome

I am lost, so what
can I say? Nothing other --
than that I don't mind.

Night sky, trees above
silent watering places --
on the motorway.

We're walking along,
I see what you see, and I --
point out what I see.

Inexperienced travellers get lost
so soon in unknown regions
They are tempted
by alleys and signals
and go down the stairs
to the inside
ignorant where they are, somewhere
for real or just romping around a little
in their heads, turned crazy
crazier craziest by their senses
which surround them with walls
that they want to touch
to know if they are hard
or that they can float
right through them at a gallop
They are looking for a hand, a body
They want to talk, fight if necessary
with someone who will grab their axis
to stop the monologue
that shrills into their ears

A brief break on the road
too tired for a nap
or to really eat here, something
that they don't even have
It's no use
to take my coat off
I just keep that one
glove on as well
I wish I was at home, in bed
not those bright lights, not that
endless dark night
still to go

We're walking along,
I see what you see, and I --
point out what I see.

I am on my way,
with views, that's what it's about –
goals are 'side' issues.

I am on my way,
ignorant where to, that's how –
I get the farthest.

Climbing a mountain
while thinking about the top –
you're nowhere at all.

Climbing a mountain
you're proudly proving your worth –
But what would it be?
