Watching People On Christmas Eve

Corona played its card today
Right from the start
All plans abandoned
On the day prior to Christmas Eve

Barrakuhda

Seit ein paar Tagen wieder einmal der frische Geruch noch warmer Brötchen. Wie schnell man etwas vergessen kann, ohne es zu vermissen. Ich erwische mich bei dem Gedanken, dass es mir mit dem Theater ebenso geht.

Human Superpower

Here we go for the sunshine
Privately settling just fine
Make a shift and start
Your engine be a part

Triptychon 3 6 9

Recognising cascades gleaming
Hurricanes of obsolescence
Finishing the distance here
Set a point
Make it clear

I Can’t Breathe

What do the numbers tell you about Saxony during COVID-19
When they are saying: We are low

the door to tomorrow
opens in the shadows of today
brush aside the path of sorrow
and make your way

Applaus

Und dann ist es ja ab und zu so / Dass uns das Blut in den Kopf steigt
Weil wir uns so aufregen / Über die Ungerechtigkeiten in der Welt

Ringen um Worte

Immerhin wird man gesiezt / Wenn einem befohlen wird
Sich auf einen Stuhl zu setzen / Dort musst du hin

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!
