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

The Waiting Trap

Waiting alone 
Wishing
Suspense       

I'm left alone waiting
Wishing for her to return	
She doesn't until later	
Wishing to make me wait, that is: 
Suffer
Sadist, I smell

Then there she is
Eyes glancing off 
Walking past

Sirens, no legend

Feeling too weak 
ten years
I didn't look at any woman
until this spring I started noticing 
eyes gazing 
from behind counters 
or battlements of husbands 
and condominiums.

When going home one night,
I heard mosquitos buzz
they heard me moaning:
What do you want from me? 

A monk's life
is more economical on blood.

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

Swept along

He held me fast in a joyous dance
I didn't know the steps
Swept along in an ice-cold stream
A dotard put me under
A suit on a hanger 
Built a ludicrous case
No one listened to me

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
