poem


it's summer

small birds

have the courage

to start their day

unless human-caused

troubles

their songs

without trees 

cars ate them up

poem


not only the fish

are characters 

in this play

the heron also 

plays his secret role

and could appear

at any time

the clouds would be

spectators

poem


Draußen

sitzen, lesen. 

Vorsicht! Da liegt

die andere Brille!

Frappé im Glas,

Eiswürfel klimpern.

Eine Elster meckert,

Wildtauben gurren und

ich kann dieses Gurren

nicht ausstehen.

poem


The noise barrier.

Behind it gardens

with sheds and flags.

A strange smell

from somewhere.

The good things are

nearly ripe apples,

flowers, berries, coffee

in blue cups.

Nacktschnecken!

Kenne keinen,

der sie mag! Keinen!

poem


Magst du Wolken,

fragte ich die KI.

Ja, ich mag Wolken,

war die Antwort.

Danach ging es um

Wasser und Eis.
