Windless Words
This article was originally published in German. The English version is an automatic translation and may contain errors. The German original is authoritative.
Weathered reason fears a mouth of shards
melted thoughts glow in the grooves
a frustration army of your language lurks in the depths
Restless storm plucks feathers from the air
Sounds shatter world-lost on rocky cliffs
to inauthentic kitsch
Without sense the brow keeps watch over its white hem
the tone already betrays deceives
before it sinks in the throng?
Roaring violence resists shapeless form
Word pearls drive deeper a wedge
between the self-living tide
Eternal lasts the oath through these deeds
shatters into a thousand bright shimmer
rot decay on the sea floor
Windless words
do not shine on the horizon
do not say what drives them away
lie stranded on the island world
