Vier Gedichte aus Atemwende

In den Flüssen nördlich der Zukunft
werf ich das Netz aus, das du
zögernd beschwerst 
mit von Steinen geschriebenen
Schatten.

Die Zahlen, im Bund 
mit der Bilder Verhängnis
und Gegen-
verhängnis. 
Der drübergestülpte
Schädel, an dessen 
schlafloser Schläfe ein irr-
lichternder Hammer
all das im Welttakt
besingt.

Stehen, im Schatten 
des Wundenmals in der Luft.
Für-niemand-und-nichts-Stehn.
Unerkannt,
für dich
allein. 
Mit allem, was darin Raum hat,
auch ohne
Sprache.

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