Der seltsame Ichgeschmack 
  
Wenn ich mich schmecke 
salzig oder gehemmt 
bin ich mir fremd 
scharf und gehetzt 
manchmal 
werden Messer gewetzt 
träume im Morgenrot 
denke, ich bin halb tot 
schmecke mich immer noch 
bin vielleicht doch 
halb lebendig

angel 

My angel's smile 
grows hard 
as she says:
'You're guilty 
of not being made 
according to specifications, 
I replace you 
with any of my dreams.'

Ocean

The gaze of yonder calm blue eyes
belies a torrent of panic and cries
making no show of strength and strength
their power twinkling above the flood, 
no more hiding and running and blood.
The gaze of yonder calm blue eyes
proves direction above the waves,
above the fighting and tears of spite,
I suddenly gasp at  god's blue light.

A friend offers his help

When I spoke of my messy inheritance
my friend offered his help
which I gladly accepted.
And I did the planning, booking two rooms and
- most of all -
didn't ask anyone else, 
until, 
in the nick of time,
he told me, by the way,
that I couldn't demand 
that much work for no payment,
that I should have known that and,
after all,
I was inheriting, wasn't I?
And when I then most unpleasantly felt
forced to remind him 
of the lengthy favours I'd previously done him,
I found
that he'd hardly noticed 
any of those.

I'm not angry

I am angry
But I must not
Bad boy, they tell me
Always overreacting
Only because 
They touch me everywhere
I must not be angry
I'm not
Only later

zur Kinderzeit

mit Beilen behauenes Brüllen
in Wiegen sanftes Lullen
mit Feilen zerriebenes Wollen
in Kannen gegossenes Sollen
in Pfannen gebratenes Fett
unter Tannenbäumen stinkende Fröhlichkeit
