Schweinerei

Es fragt nicht, es trügt gern,
es dankt nicht, es frisst gern,
es liebt meine Dinge, 
nimmt sie mir ab.
Hinter mir, vor mir
kommt's aus dem Strauch,
unerkannt, sichtbar,
schnüffelt - schnauft,
verwirrt mich, ich weiß nicht.
Sein Grunzen verklingt.
Nackt bin ich, 
und schäm' mich.

Schmutziges Wort

Ich treff meinen Freund
denke gierig:
Freund
und habe mich schon verloren
vollgesogen mit:
Freund

Pricked 

When I went into the video store
and the girl said two fifty, I said: 
But I've already paid!
Yes, for yesterday.
But, do you mean 
that one has to return it on the same day?
Yes, she said, and added that her colleague told me of course.
He told me nothing!
Yes, he told me of course.
But you weren't even there!
I had started to shout, but
she knew her colleague, he told me of course.
He told me nothing! And a speck of foam
from my lips
settled on her bust, the shelves reeled
and my hand came 
- while with strange clarity 
I saw a great horn 
ramming her body through -
down on the counter
with a magnificent slap.
You needn't spit at me.
It wasn't intentional!,
I bellowed.

Congratulations

Apparently friendly mysterious creature 
that thought I might in the meantime 
have become normal enough 
to attach importance to birthdays. 
And mine.

Disappointed there she realized that 
I hadn't become less unstable and 
nobody could treat me with enough 
circumspection except 
therapists.

I know she knows I mostly don't know 
what's real. I never realized but now 
seem to hear her saying the same things 
since years past and suddenly know
that I never liked it; 

but can't avoid accepting the chocolates 
nor seem to escape the casual embrace.

Vögleins Ende 

Ein Vöglein im Obstgarten hüpfte um die Füße meiner Königin, 
weil es aus dem Nest gefallen war und sie es genährt und 
gerettet hatte. Weil es aber viel zu klein und zu wenig für 
ihren Herrscherdurst war, hatte sie viel kostbaren Weins 
gesoffen und schwankte. Sie schwankte einen Schritt rückwärts 
und dort, grausig im Grase, brach sein Schädel in Stücke.
