Sabine Scho Poems
a door, what a custom
a lock, hinge, collar stiffeners, that's
what's used to measure up steel
doorframes, concrete, files
...
younger child of two.
Father owns a factory.
Mother looks after the household.
The parents own a house in the country.
...
Are street clothes right
for déjeuner sur l'herbe
sweet buns with plenty of butter,
...
"A servant said: This one's getting the mange."
R. Musil, Three Women. The Portuguese Woman, 1924.
...
someone wants me
to say grass and spread out
a blanket, good grass, the pure
opulence of ruminants
...
two halves of equal size
the seeds, the juice, the knobbly bits
tentacles from inside, holding it
all together, the inner skin
...

The Best Poem Of Sabine Scho
Atomic tangerine
a door, what a custom
a lock, hinge, collar stiffeners, that's
what's used to measure up steel
doorframes, concrete, files
and, yes, files. "that's how we
turn off the light", on piles of
paper, but the horror of grey is a
colour too after all, deliberately
careful with the broom, almost like at
home, but a bit higher, the third part
of the karma game was cancelled, no
alarms and no surprises, a corridor,
what a tube, pizza from the biscuit
tin, and out there it's getting whiter
all the time, at christmas, they
say, that's sort of the custom
glitter fences, one last beer to reconnect
but, please. couldn't you let me out of
here
