tracing back the steps of my youth
cycling along what was the old tram route
and now is a park
into the city I grew up in
...

one elliptic course of the earth around the sun
equals by convention one year - down here
another elliptic course of a different world
around its own distant sun
...

I started fighting them late this year
and what with the mild winter and dry summer
they are everywhere now
the thing has gone out of hand this time
...

the bottom drawer
is this where i should hide you?
deep down there
between all the empty shells
...

'one man's lust is the other's pain' -
right, and it seems
as if there was a fixed amount
of good and bad vibrations
...

if, in fact, you imagine a line
from the soles of your feet
down into the ground
through the earth's crust
...

Imagine...
we had meant all the things we said
and all the words that were sung in our names
once I did - both -
...

the gravity of planets spinning
intertwined galaxies keeping their distance
myself: - firmly rooted and yet endlessly striving
expanded between the comforting earth
...

My mind works best when my hands are busy.
So I open the window to the damp rainy air
which slowly replaces the kitchen stink
the smell of sixteen-hundred frying meatballs
...

all presents exchanged
all good wishes said
all fireworks burnt down.
...

all curled up
fetal and weeping

don't despair
...

regularity
events repeating themselves
again and again
a framework to hold on to
...

I am a dreamer
I go through the motions of
- doing my job
- talking to people
...

someone - should he be called a friend? -
losing his center, the core of his being
tossed from it by the current of events and those producing them,
diverging further and further
...

i get up in the morning
look into the mirror
who is it today?
getting dressed
...

quiet evening mood
with all those forgotten souls
nourishing the soil above them
fallen crosses and angels
...

Reality bites
those that are unfortunate enough,
inattentive and not alert
to carefully placing their steps.
...

the velvet underground -
the sound and the surface
another dolby surround dream
loud and clear
...

there are many ways to get a grip on reality
- erasing all our relationships
- conquering nature
- influencing your own organism
...

Show me a heartful of love, anywhere,
and I'll try to start believing in this world again
but you won't find it,
at least not where we are
...
