Menschheit – Scriptorium '77

Sonnet #65: Krähenzeit

Die Krähen sehnen schon das fette Aas
Das einst die Menschheit hinterlassen wird
Denn sie vermisst schon lang das rechte Maß
Die Hirne scheinen jeden Tag verwirrt

sieben sechs sechzig

ich falle
komme irgendwo an
in meinem herzen lauern widersprüchliche gefühle
komm, sag mir wann

Eintausend Sterne kreisen ums Licht

Das Summen wird lauter und senkt sich herab
Auf die Wiesen
Auf die Straßen
Doch nicht ganz hinein ins feuchte Grab

Monophobia

Es wäre nur ein Schritt für einen Menschen. Kein Schritt für die Menschheit. Denn die sieht ihn gar nicht. Ein Mensch steht allein am Abgrund und traut sich nicht. Er zaudert, hadert.

Sonnet #9: Zeiten(w)ende

Wenn irgendwann zu ferner Zeit verlischt
Das Licht der Welt ein glimmend Funke nur
Steh’n seltsam frohgemut am Rand der Gischt
Die letzten Menschen sinnend ihrer Spur

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!
