for the strongest coffee at the end of a day train ride

at the end of the day
i’m not that far away
from home
where does that come from

Sonnet #75: Bitter Sweet Merry

The sweetness of a porridge break at dawn
While time is shifting backwards in the train
My thoughts are on a christmas market lawn
Instead of merry joy it’s raining pain

breaking the chains. revolution express

there are holidays
the trains are crowded
but no-one shouted:
GIVE US MORE!!!

Sonnet #58: Garbage

For hours trapped with egoists in train
They talk without a pause and drink their beer
Their smell of garbage drives me fast insane
There’s nothing greater to enjoy in here

Sulla Would Be Proud

Poetry writes itself
Yeah
Especially
When you are trapped in a train

For Lunch to Berlin

On the surface we leave
Footprints on doorsteps
What a concept
Leave it on the ground

Cooking My Brain

Another midnight lies ahead
Could go to bed but instead
I’m writing down my thoughts and prayers
To the hours past and all their layers
