in these lands
the distance our toes
had to gather:
unlearned

t’embrasser
and to cover
the bridges with
new yarn

to keep
setting aflame
those threads
and pace

our arrivals
exactly
so that on soft ash
we can rise

the sea

let me recall, my love
the last time you were young
it is not years nor
years ago, your hand
was holding mine
and whispers us together

let me recall, my love
this last full time of youth
and how it walked - from your
heart into mine -
on that island you took
our whispers to, and me

let me recall, my love
the last time you were young
your hand held all this power
your face and all its promise
your whispers, all this truth
let me recall, my love

how fast we ran, my love
your hand, it fastened mine
and then your voice, how it
broke from whisper
spoke and spoke and
age was there to hear

the island shook with
all you thought to say -
do you recall, my love? -
the sediment of you and youth
it carried far and drowned.
and that same sea, it took me.

trotzig sind die
flächen haut
geflossen in die
halbe hand

marter war
das halbe
mir

und lobte ich die
ungeduld
versonnt mir in
der not vor dir

marter war
das halbe
mir

dass die fläche
text blieb
textil die
maschine der not
