Blüte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Diamanten wandern übers Wasser! Ausgereckte Arme Spannt der falbe Staub zur Sonne! Blüten wiegen im Haar! Geperlt Verästelt Spinnen Schleier! Duften Weiße matte bleiche Schleier! Rosa, scheu gedämpft, verschimmert Zittern Flecken Lippen, Lippen Durstig, krause, heiße Lippen! Blüten! Blüten! Küsse! Wein! Roter Goldner Rauscher Wein! Du und Ich! Ich und Du! Du?!
