The standstill

“That evening train was rollin’
The hummin’ of its wheels
My eyes they saw a better day
As I looked across the fields.”

Waiting for a dance

"I should like to dance,
To shout, to sing,
To fasten a crimson blossom in my hair
And sport the gay frivolity of my gown
To make your hard Puritan conscience
Wonder about my Soul."

(M.C. Becker in I should like to dance)

Here’s a rope …

"If the little
Ones say, Daddy, play horse, here's
A rope - does he answer like a joke:
I seen enough rope for today? 
Or does his face light up like a
Bonfire of joy and does he say:
It's a good and dandy world we live
In. ..."

“Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand
Wer ist die Schönste, Klügste, Beste hier im ganzen Land
Es ist schwer, dich zu beschreiben
Und die Wörter zu vermeiden
Die ich hier nicht sagen will
Denn was zuviel ist, ist zuviel”

(Tic Tac Toe in Ich find’ dich scheisse)

The abandonned working place

What is left some scribbles on the wall
a gazing locker
and the worker,
the railway man,
he sits at home
with only memories.
