Sentimental

Christmas 
suddenly I remember to
the carol's last verse


mulled wine
the unknow old woman
in the mirror
has my eyes 

heavy snowfall
we use our footsteps
coming home

Santa's Belt Buckle and the Moth Finder

Santa's Belt Buckle and the Moth Finder 

snowy mountain peak

in my outstretched hand

the landing of an eagle feather

cotton balls never taste sweet

but with mashed potatoes on my glasses

the new kind of Christmas Market

seal burger on ice

bluest blue outside

the first snowflakes

under the dark Helleborus

a hole through the world

thimble word's echoes 

knife and heather

a wreath for an angel

gold only for goblins

claret lips and a mistletoe 

the trapped moth in the snow globe

Caput Mortuum

 

caput mortuum

pine bonsai

the edge of the world 

snow powdered

my one-line poem

then the bus drove off

on a frosted oak leaf

if I die in winter put me an ilex wreath on my head the rest for the wolves

LaLeLu 

is it Santa's voice

only a frozen maple leaf

scratches the moon

three old ravens argue

about the hedgehog's leaf grave

I close the window

Christmas means

Christmas means 

making a song out of silence

Noel carols
from each hearts silent hope
love is born

.

it's a wonderful life

I‘ll lasso you the moon

serenade in rain

things friends do

if they love you

cozy first home

a damaged stairway

direct into heaven


angel wings
the darkest point
of depression


the big hole
that one missed soul
can be

believe
light
for
broken
souls

a vacuum of believing
 in yourself the innocence

of rose petals


autumn night
 the call of a locomotive
and I think travel
