haiku - eine annäherung

Across the Styx

Across the Styx

I can't stay at home. I'm a healthcare worker and it is a very tiring and busy time in our practice. All people are very unsettled and fearful.

Tick, Tock

tick, tock…

awaking next to the crocodile could be funny

better not trust dolls
with green eyes

victory day

victory day—

the innumerable petals

of red poppies

jour de la victoire—

les pétales innombrables

des coquelicots rouges

Kriegsende—
die unzähligen Blütenblätter
von roten Mohnblumen

COVID Escape

unexpected visit
a neighbor’s cat
breaks the rules

escape in my garden
the flapping of butterfly wings
nothing more

hawthorn blossoms
drunken bees
enjoy their community

the earth isn’t round
enough to escape
our own race

small fishes
and no swarm
that protects us

bunny ears and masks
easter greetings
from the neighbors

an old raven
counts the hoots of a night-owl
their moon listens

What if

what if

I would wake up inside a peony small like an elf and it’s sunday

two pinkish mice
track for mask parcels
summer wind
