Der wahre Schrecken
Olaf Gatermann said:
The real terror
1. To leave
and when you come back
everything has changed.
2. To leave
and when you come back
nothing has changed.

Märchen
Olaf Gatermann said:
Sorry that the rhyme got lost:
Fairy Tale
Farmer, farmer
let me in,
I can\'t stay outdoors any more.
King, it\'s wet and cold,
and I am lonely, dumb and old.
Frau Holle, open the door for me!
I\'ll give you a mouse in return.
Grey ass, grey ass, listen to me,
I\'m asking what I can ask.
The stone lies deep in the wide sea,
I don\'t know anything anymore
and I\'m crying.

Als der Schnee geschmolzen war
Norman Flagtea said:
When the snow had melted
When the snow had melted
a dead bird lay in front of my door.
Had he only spoken up,
the stupid animal,
I would have let him in.

Die Wasserschildkröten
Olaf Gatermann said:
The waterturtles
The waterturtles
take the sun
on a black tree stump
in the lake
of the cemetery.
The dead appreciate that.
In the dusk
they come by for a little while
and sit
on the shore
until the turtles
also disappear.

Brief an einen jungen Dichter
Norman Flagtea said:
Letter to a young poet
And please consider,
young friend,
that it is a lot easier
to be a tiger
than an armadillo.

Entdeckung
Olaf Gatermann said:
Realisation
I look like a man
who looks like me.
He is married to my wife.
He shops
where I shop.
But he takes more milk.

Hände aus Blech
Olaf Gatermann said:
Hands of tin
He was considered autistic
because he recognised people
by their hands.
Some had
hands of tin,
others
hands of teak wood
and still others
had hands of water.

Four young refugees

La condition humaine
arqios said:
There is an adult that is but a child.
Genuinely loved your turn of phrase. Hunger is so primal and so basic and the societal collective, if blind to this, is sorely malignant.
