Bochum – Scriptorium '77

Klasse! Klasse! Klasse!

Egal, wo Grönemeyer spielt
Egal, wo er auftritt
Es ist immer Bochum
Das die Leute aus voller Kehle mitgröhlen

Sonnet #68: Journey

We come and go on our journey home
Along the rivers north and south the border
We leave the comfort zone we just came from
And recognise the joy of last night’s order

Proxemische Zugreise

Über der Szene liegt ein säuerlicher Geruch aus abgestandenem Deororant, Schweiß, Zigaretten, unterschiedlichen Kaugummisorten, Essen und diversen sonstigen Körperausdünstungen. Der Raum ist begrenzt.

Unter Tage

wer in Bochum nicht Unter Tage geht
ist nie in Bochum gewesen
hier verwest der Schweiß von zweihundert Jahren

Am Katzentisch

Sie sind im Stress
Sie sind Sizilianer
pronto, pronto
Das italienische Restaurant am Ende der Straße

Rampensau und Superheld

Es sind diese Momente
Eines langen Ehelebens
Die mich stets darin bestätigen
Weshalb ich das Eheleben bisher nie selbst versucht habe

WRITING Creative writing is my personal way to deal with the world we live in. I try to figure what’s going on and how to make sense of it. Creative writing is also giving something from me to you to enjoy, to think about or just share some time together online.

POEMS On this page I started with poems because it’s an easy way for me to write something off my chest. Poems are about one tiny aspect in life, about a special feeling or a combination of both. Poems have the power to connect people in a special way. You can think about a poem for far longer than it lasted reading it. You can sing poems; you can think about poems; you can recite them out loud. Tell me what you think about my poetry. Or suggest a collaboration.

ART I already told you that I started with poems in here. But that’s just the beginning. I also write sonnets, short shories, novels, odes, haikus and more. I design my own books, do letterpress from time to time and like to make more collages. Some of it I put on here. Some of it I’m still working on. Most of it is still in my mind.

COLLABORATION I’d like to work together with other creative people. Do you like one of my poems and would like to make a song from it? Contact me! Do you have an idea but not the right words? Contact me! Do you like one subject I have written about and want to learn more? Contact me! Are you a writer but stuck in procrastination? Contact me!

FUN Sometimes I write about dark subjects. Sometimes I write about light subjects. Most of times I write because of the fun of writing. Because it’s healthy to do. Writing clears the mind. And, yeah, writing is fun. Do you like to learn more? Contact me!
