Would a personal

message without emoji --


be without feelings?

Timeless afternoon
Postponing chores
Putting paperwork away
Going to bed with you

My heart is in my belly
exactly where I explode
with you - firework sparks
and sweet languor in every cell

My body completely
touched by the magic
spell of hormonal love
still shiny

with attention and sweat
every spot awakened and treated
dozily omnipresent
in your closeness

My future is short,

so please let me find shelter --


find shelter in you.

After every step,

I have to take another --


Yeah, with all my wits.

A melancholic

march of the liberators --


playing on bagpipes.

You went away, I went on
loving you and out of the blue
there you are at my door
with a sleeping mat

I look at you
You drop anchor
and want to show

all kinds of things, explaining them
with your hands and I have no idea
how this suddenly happened

I'm just glad
I was home, am home
I make soup

There is rye bread
We are hungry
Old hunger

I'm by the sea late

at night, the winds need no sleep --


they're scanning my skin.
