Umami Existence

sitting in front of a screen for hours without blinking
isn’t umami —

working through headaches and pain
isn’t umami —

if so, vertigo

what if Earth doesn’t move anymore
one half gets the day
the other the dark
and where they meet
the shadows collide?

increasingly indifferent

this is me / thinking about tomorrow / which is kinda lack of mind / that degree of imagining / that won’t happen anyway

Are You Coming? / Kommst du?

Cause in the distance there is nothing but the sea / Billions of years fall into a tree / The stars shine down on all of us / House an infinite grave and thus

Sonnet #44: Emergency

We leave when rain falls down on our dreams
When hope forgets to cancel out this fear
And finish what we’ve started as it seems
This life is always terminal, that’s clear

Something Different Makes Me Happy

Can we simply agree on one point? You just don’t hear what you should understand. You listened to the words perhaps one hundred times. But they don’t mean anything to you.

Roughing Up

This is the place where we are born
Those are the ideas we learn
From relatives and friends
From the streets and from trends

Sonnet #37: Changes

The times ahead of us won’t ever see
The struggles and the pain we felt in war
With ourselves we never could agree
It doesn’t matter what we’ve got so far

On the Street to Everywhere Else

How can we know
Where the places are
The gardens we like to play in
The heavens we like to see?

The Struggle

Let the fight begin
I told Charon
Took his finger
Showed him the rest of the night sky
