Zeitenschrunde

Song Cycle by Caroline Ansink (b. 1959)

1.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weggebeizt vom
Strahlenwind deiner Sprache
das bunte Gerede des An-
erlebten – das hundert-
züngige Mein-
gedicht, das Genicht.
Aus-
gewirbelt,
frei
der Weg durch den menschen-
gestaltigen Schnee,
den Büßerschnee, zu
den gastlichen
Gletscherstuben und -tischen.

Tief
in der Zeitenschrunde,
beim
Wabeneis
wartet, ein Atemkristall,
dein unumstößliches
Zeugnis.

Ein Dröhnen: es ist
die Wahrheid selbst
unter die Menschen
getreten
mitten ins 
Metapherngestöber

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ins Hirn gehaun - halb? zu drei Vierteln? -,
gibst du, genächtet, die Parolen - diese :

"Tatarenpfeile".
                            "Kunstbrei".
                                                   "Atem".

Es kommen alle, keiner fehlt und keine.

(Sipheten und Probyllen sind dabei.)

Es kommt ein mensch.

Weltapfelgross die Träne neben dir,
durchbrauscht, durchfahren
von Antwort,
                        Antwort,
                                       Antwort.

Durchseist - von wem?

"Passiert", sagst du,
                                   "passiert",
                                                    "passiert".

 

Der stille Aussatz löst sich dir vom Gaumen
und fächelt deiner Zunge Licht zu,

                                                             Licht.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich kann Dich noch sehn: ein Echo.
ertastbar mit Fühl-
wörtern, am Abschieds-
grat.
 
Dein Gesicht scheut leise,
wenn es auf einmal
lampenhaft hell wird
in mir, an der Stelle,
wo man am schmerzlichsten Nie sagt.

[FADENSONNEN]1
über der grauschwarzen Ödnis
Ein baum -
hoher Gedanke
greift sich den Lichtton: es sind
noch Lieder zu singen jenseits
der Menschen.
