Sonnet #26: Aurora

The heavens fall for clearer nights to come
Unsettling for the inner freedom’s past
While darkness covers Earth to frighten some
The Northern Lights in green and blue move fast

Fünfundvierzig Jahre

Meine Arme sind schwer
Und meine Gedanken leer
Blau und weiß der Himmel
Über plätschernden Wassertropfen

Sonnet #25: Peace

When every drop of hope seemed spilled with ease
By narrow minded people without thinking
The enemies of freedom make their peace
Don’t hesitate to drop your glass of drinking

Necessary Evil / Notwendiges Übel

The wheels rattle over the cobblestones like lasers dig into tattooed skin. Removing what should no longer be there. I already know that.

Loitering Without Intent

Standing still
Drawn into a picture
That wouldn’t move
But I was moved

Strudelnd vor lauter Dasein

es trudelt munter durch den abfluss
das regenwasser ist nur ein ewiges lächeln entfernt

Berlin After Sunday

Passengers passing by
Some with masks
Some without them
The daylight hits the soul

© Dominik Alexander / 2022

stand up from the fall

put a foot wrong
keep your mind strong
brave the change
behave strange

Über den Teufelsgründen

Wir fallen alle in einen stets wiederkehrenden Schlaf
Träumen uns an den Rand der Stadt
Und sind ra{s}tlos
