Atemkristall

Song Cycle by Ab Sandbrink (b. 1953)

4. Wo Eis ist  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo Eis ist, ist Kühle für zwei.
Für zwei: so ließ ich dich kommen.
Ein Hauch wie von Feuer war um dich –
Du kamst von der Rose her.
Ich fragte: Wie hieß man dich dort?
Du nanntest ihn mir, jenen Namen:
ein Schein wie von Asche lag drauf –
Von der Rose her kamst du.

Wo Eis ist, ist Kühle für zwei:
ich gab dir den Doppelnamen.
Du schlugst dein Aug auf darunter –
Ein Glanz lag über der Wuhne.
Nun schließ ich, so sprach ich, das meine –:
Nimm es, sprich es mir nach,
sprich es mir nach, sprich es langsam,
sprich's langsam, zögr es hinaus,
und dein Aug – halt es offen so lang noch! 

Text Authorship:

  • by Paul Antschel (1920 - 1970), as Paul Celan, "Wo es eis ist"

6. Keine Sandkunst mehr  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Keine Sandkunst mehr
Keine Sandkunst mehr, kein Sandbuch, keine Meister.

Nichts erwürfelt. Wieviel
Stumme?
Siebenzehn.

Deine Frage – deine Antwort.
Dein Gesang, was weiß er?

Tiefimschnee,
                                   Iefimnee,
                                                             I – i – e.
