gedicht

 . . . . . . back in germany man across 

the sea?  . . . . . . another university to teach

those hated poets long dead - whose 

 . . . . . . lines still haunt - i from time to time 

check to see if any thing is written 

about the blue couch* 

 . . . . . . or the ocean or the sky  . . . . . . or the dog 

 . . . . . . left behind: silence - is it given up? 

left to hurt  . . . . . . about don't

 . . . . . . the pain would be greater than what is . . . . . .

as we curve into  . . . . . .the ones and zeroes 

 . . . . . . i want to one day awake  . . . . . . to

a poem: a poem about lemonade, sweaters, and a harbor 

and i will tell again . . . . . . and hear again  . . . . . . that this abyss 

 . . . . . . is a sabbatical
