Bereit | Gedicht von Corinna Felski

Bereit

Gejagt von den Winden des Tages
Erstarrt im Fett der Zeit
Geduckt vor dem Aufprall der Zahlen
Ich bin noch nicht bereit

Geborgen in den Hüllen
der Wohlanständigkeit
Den Schrank bis zur Neige füllen
Ich bin noch nicht bereit

Wohin wenn die Hüllen splittern?
Wohin vor dem Rauschen der Zeit?
Im Morgen die Gestern verwittern
Bin ich denn dann bereit?

[Corinna Felski, Dezember 2010]

„Every cockroach is beautiful to its mum...“ Neapolitan Proverb

Wisdom from Lewis Carroll

Alice: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"

The Cheshire Cat: "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."

Alice in Wonderland | Lewis Carroll

Unshared Moments

Unshared Moments

I woke up and saw the first snow today
The flakes descended gracefully
Later the sun kissed the morning fog away
And powdered trees stood proudly in the fields
It elated me and made me beam with happiness
But you‘re not here with me - you‘re far away

It is those days that it hurts to love you
It is those unshared moments that I deplore

Today I saw a little girl playing in the streets
She sang a beautiful tune
of her home in the mountains
She glanced at me, an orchid in her hair
I smiled back but soon I realised
that you‘re still not here with me

It is those days that it hurts to love you
It is those unshared moments that I deplore

And now I am lying underneath the stars
which shine brightly through the night
My bed of hay smells of sweet clover
The air is filled with songs of lust
And soon I will close my eyes
to drift off into vivid dreams
You‘re still far away and not here with me

It is those days that it hurts to love you
It is those unshared moments that I deplore
