Pause – Scriptorium '77

Diese Zeit hängt im Nebel

Alle Nikotinabhängigen verqualmen die Theaterarkaden
Vor dem Staatsschauspiel
Als würden die anderen
Die Nichtraucher

Theaterpause

Der alte Herr quält sich
Am Pissoir versucht er zu finden
Sich
Seinen schwindenden Männerzustand

Immer weiter

Geh weiter
Einfach weiter
Immer weiter
Musst du gehen

Ruhe ist nur ein Augenblick

Manchmal nehme ich mir vor
Nicht nachzugeben
Leben und leben lassen
Sind an sich nicht schwer

Gedankenwellen

Ich lege den Kopf in die Wellen
Lasse die Gedanken treiben
Höre all die Klagen nicht mehr
Die Tage zu Nächten machen

Füße in Socken und ein Mittagsmahl lange nach seiner Zeit

Es ist Sonntag Mittag und die Sonne kommt raus / Ja, ich probiere das jetzt mal / Einfach nur in Halbsätzen etwas aus mir herauszuschreiben / Woran ich ab und zu denke

Hexenjagd – die Schatten von Salem

Schatten im Stillstand / Flirrendes Morgengrau am Firmament
Ein Baum fällt / Und dann:

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!
