Schlimmer

Jede Mutter, 
die ihr Kind nicht liebt,
muss ja so tun.

Das macht es schlimmer für das Kind.

Pig Predators

Pigs on a lorry, brought to slaughter
beautiful lies: humanity, nature 
humans are humans' pigs.
Predators rule
and humans are different 
tyrannosaurs, tigers
in that they invented 
the idea of the human as pig.

Stockholm Syndrome

Who am I, you or me?
Who threatens to throttle me?
Who shoots me below the neck?
Who is killing, you or me?
Who will be killing you?
With a blade below the throat
I am saying, you are saying,
we're the best of friends.
You or I is whooing me, 
I or you embracing, she
is a fat old hag.
I embrace her nonetheless,
he -
embraces me.
Knowing well, I play along
kissing where puking
wouldn't be wrong
fearing 
that old 'love' song.

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.'

I wonder how my uncle died

My mother's younger brother,
at 17,
training to be a pilot,
died in a plane crash, 
they told me.
It was to be expected
as, at the end of the war,
everything was breaking.
Later I couldn't but wonder
whether,
as he wasn't shot down,
his fall wasn't connected
to my grandfather 
having done 
the same things 
already to him.

Zwischen Wiege und Wald
ängstigte ihn das Alter 
so sehr
dass nur seine Gier zu befriedigen half. Lächelnd
tötete er das Kind.
