let it lie Poem by Ulrike Almut Sandig
let it lie
the gull‘s wings at the harbor, two make a pair, was a bird,
a limber animal. lift the feet and reach out wide, hold
each other to climb easier, don't look at the whitish fabric
under us, don't turn toward the children. has to lie
in the harbor a streamlined hull. has to lie
just like the fish. has to carry on
his childish games, white.
