got my head down
but have faith in myself
left something behind
got distracted in the fact
that i don’t have fifteen fingers —

                some would say
                this is rubbish
                trash even
                not worthy the hassle
                but there are memories about
                it’s part of the journey
                still wondering
                where did it end —

got it two cities ago
in a backyard
together with a nice chit-chat
but i have a number
and i will use it tomorrow —

                there is no going back
                not on this ongoing journey
                gained other memories in the process
                sleeping for a moment
                don’t leave me behind
                whispers in the farest mind
                don’t make it to the eyes
                didn’t see
                never mind —

three cities are connected now
in my palace of memories
in my forthcoming dream perhaps
                Wismar
                                Lübeck
                                                Cuxhaven
the triangle of Nosferatu
tis the night of the wishful thinking
luck might be evil
on rainy tomorrow.
