Mein Gedanke wickelt
und lauft um die Wette
mit den Erinnerungen.
Die Augenblicke, im weiss angezogen,
in Farblosigkeit der Vergangenheit atmen.
Eine Erinnerungen. – im Pickel getrocknet…
Selbsttäuschung – mit dem Weissem in Haare
zeichnen wir Aureolen über unseren Köpfe.
Schreiten wir selbsgefühlig
mit dem schuldbewussten Ruhm vollgestopft.
Wo sind sie, Flügel?
Ungeträumte Sonnenaufgange
mit einer Hoffnung aufflammen.
