After His Death







     at the roadside
     after his death
     wild roses










          am Straßenrand
          nach seinem Tode
          wilde Rosen

Orange Sunset







     merging with
     this orange sunset
     frog song










          
          in diesen orangenen Sonnenuntergang
          klingt ein
          Froschgesang

Winter Willow















                    bare
                    the willow
                    & I



kahl
die Weide
& ich

Off Road
















                    
                    winter walking
                    we venture off-road
                    with my wheelchair




 Winterspaziergang
wir wagon uns ins Gelände
met meinem Rollstuhl

His Whispers

his whispers through
myrrh incense






erste Krähe
ihr Geflüster durch
Myrrhenrauch

The Letter


wind gusts —
the letter was not
meant for me






Windböen —
der Brief war nicht
an mich gerichtet
