dummer Odysseus

angelockt von 
einer nebenberuflichen Sirene 
zu dumm 
um den Zweck zu begreifen 
folgte er ihr 
natürlich 
und wurde 
ein wenig von sich selbst gefressen 
zu beleidigt 
um zu denken oder zu sprechen 
paddelte er im Latrinensee 
zu dumm 
um fortzukommen 
vom Schiff 
aus riefen sie ihm zu: 
du bist selber in die Pfütze gesprungen

Grabbed

The man I confused with my father
made me do things
I thought of as girl experiments
only when he grabbed me
and talked all crazy
as though I had harmed him
and didn't let go
did I recognize
my enemy

Women and dogs

I love her, she loves me
She is angry at me for loving me
I'm angry at her for not loving me
I get a dog
It acts as though it loved me
I love the dog
The dog is me 
I don't love me
I have no control over the dog
Nosing around it thinks only of itself
It is using me!
I make it obey but
a slave cannot love me
I get rid of the dog
She doesn't love me

Deutsche Version: Frau und Hund

Mother and son
Empathy
He is her to a degree
My enslavement do I see
Mummy calling endlessly
Notice, notice, notice me!
Along the generation-tree
She reflects her father on me 
The son is her's entirely
He needs her, she
Turns her back on 
Me

Meine Mutter war eine Terroristin
sie soff um sich nicht zu erinnern
dass nicht ich das Monster war
das ihr Vater war
den sie so liebte und bewunderte

A tornado of words
towering list of my offences 
approaches the house
dissipating but not finished 
until it strikes me over the head
on its last breath
