Birkenwald - Vergessene Wälder

Kalkfinger
schweigende Birkenwälder
Hautfetzen Narben Flecken
Menschenhass im Becken
niemand brauchend nichts erwarten
wildes Grauen
graue Nebelschwaden

kein blauer See ruht
in liebenden Blicken
Rotbuchen trauern
unter weißgetünchten Birken

verrostete Zungen hinterließ
die Herbstwitwe
als sie ihre süßen Früchte
an saftigen Lippen rieb
und bittere Kerne abtrieb

Fetzen steigen wie kalte Seelen
und lassen Striche zu Schneeschauern
verreisen
ins stille Vergessen

wo kein Name mein Antlitz
und kein Trauern
an irgendwas erinnert
als das weiße Birken
alte Wunden schälen

FORGOTTEN WOODS

Lime fingers
silent birch forests
Skin scraps scars stains
Misanthropy in the basin
nobody needing nothing expects
wild horror
dread fog swaths

no blue lake rests
in loving gazes
copper beeches grieve
under whitewashed birches

rusty tongues left
the autumn widow
as she left their sweet fruits
rubbed at juicy lips
with bitter kernels aborted

Scraps rise like cold souls
and leaves lines to snow shivers
goes on a trip
into the quiet forgetting

where no name before my face
and no grieving
of anything reminded
as the white birches
old skinned wounds
