Wide
Cover your eyes –
where are you?
At the beginning or end of a tunnel?
In the middle of a wooden plank, binding banks?
I walk, balance, arms out, wide,
look at the sun, until she blinds me.
Don’t think, of just or then,
‘cause no later on exists.
I have nothing planned.
I walk, balance, arms out, wide,
look at the sun, until she blinds me.
So make sure to see yourself in the water, in the sea.
And let the waves decide when the day is done.

Indecisive
Indecisive, come down.
You have no hands
to hold ropes and steer.
Come here, you have no time
to rehearse.
Did you think you could escape?
Did you think you could be one?
No one leaves the way he came.
No one leaves the way he came.

Saturday
He wrote: “Mother often used to say:
‘You are, never, altogether unhappy.’”
Now that these bare walls
are all he has left,
he recalls,
But could he tell she was right
when he stands left?
Saturday found him, on his back,
to fall in love with a sun that leaves no shadows.

To Drown
Let drown, slowly.
The water is warm, flowing softly.
Doesn’t matter if he can’t swim –
we’ll let him down anyway someday.
Stay out, quietly and normally.
Don’t doubt,
they will find you and try to hide you.
Doesn’t matter if you can swim,
you’d better drown anyway someday.
I should have warned you,
There are no waves in here,
no tides in here,
there is no sun in here,
there is no rain.
So let drown, slowly.
The water is warm,
flowing, softly.

In the Middle
Begin in the middle.
Try to find soil,
of an ocean with no end.
Swim, silent.
Too deep, too deep,
fear – to the surface breath,
with a blow. Deafening,
loud.
Stretched out is the water.
Try to touch horizon.
