"kombination" poems
it was a strange and fragile Kombination--
a desperate, lonely Hunger,
frenetic Thrill to sate--
we didn't speak each other's native Tongues
but Tongues we shared
in what we found, of random Meals,
and Pocket Lexika to taste
hidden Idioms we strove to understand..
our Bodies splashing Wasser
in the murky Spree, ******* Fountain by Berliner Dom
licking Lips of Bier und Eis a ways away from Reichstag Bullet Holes
below the steel Spirale encased in Glas
transparent Government--a Show for Tourist Stroll..
our Smiles glinting, coated international, that Week agreed
"eine schwester-bruder liebe.."
temptation--and propriety--preserved--
pale lotion, paler skin to honey in the sun
aloft in hostel bunks we shared--
a cush historic castle, touristische nook
of maps and candy pockets, so geil..
gleeful us, to melt from moscau and new york
we shared the deutsch between us,
ein bisschen englisch,
a bit of russisch too for fun...
our soulwise checkpoint charlie held the lust at bay
despite lustgarten romps
and walks beneath the lindens, lane of sighs..
an awkward bridge of question-words we built to muse about the stars
and what we see with only strangers never seen again.
we named ourselves an instant familie...so you could snore on me,
and let me stroke your hair
without the guilt of infidelity
the freedom from, we traded in our blatant,
goodbye tears you shed, i kept inside to craft mnemonic gems
i share and savor in again

hvordan lyder et spørgsmålstegn?
for det er lyden af mig;
dine ikke-eksisterende ord
skærer i min hud som
skarpt papir
disse dage er hårde
og mest af alt
ligner jeg dine beskidte sneaks
der ikke klarede sidste fest
jeg er en juli morgen
du er en mandag morgen
og på en skala fra 1 til 10,
er du leverpostej
og det er så meget jeg forstår dine følelser
men vi er jo bare teenagere,
beskidte sneaks og mandag morgen
uundgåelige og alligevel den bedste kombination
altså på en juli dag
dét er lyden af et spørgsmålstegn,
hvilken?
