Andreas Schmidt Poems

A pebble diving into the hushed tarn
a gloved hand grasping the falling shadow
an eagle's claw seizing the rabbit
a hatchet striking from behind
...

We had a great time
well, I had, with breathing
your chestnut hair, tied with a scrunchie.
...

You bumped into me,
the keys fell from my coat
into your hands
so that you could unlock
...

I was so young and dumb
slobbering over you,
embracing the universe
like Columbus discovering the New World.
...

The Best Poem Of Andreas Schmidt

Precious Encounters

A pebble diving into the hushed tarn
a gloved hand grasping the falling shadow
an eagle's claw seizing the rabbit
a hatchet striking from behind

Precious encounters -
all of a sudden in the secret dwelling

churning up the waters
salvaging the doomed
scaring to death
rending to the marrow.

Precious encounters -
all of a sudden they leave, leave behind
disquiet
perplexity
terror
bleeding pain.

Cocooning remembrance...

playful waves on the inanimate glaze
life turned downside up
breathtaking journey scenes
eternal scars swollen with pride.

A richer life.
And way too rare.
