Poems
This is where you can find the few poems of mine which I have either translated from German (the ones with two dates), or which have originally been written in English. I hope to get around to translating some more eventually.

The Dialogue
I attended lectures yesterday.
I want to go swimming today.
I’ve got an exam tomorrow.
The last time I went with an old friend.
I’m too busy lately.
I really miss him
and our conversations.
All I want to do is talk to some friends
without thinking about all of this.
Of course, it’s nice to talk to you as well.
I think I’ll have pizza today.
I Perspective
I don’t see me
but you I see
but if I do
really see you
I do not know.
’Cause if I see you
I see just me
and ’cause I do
not see me,
I don’t see you.
What I see instead
I do not know.
Just what I don’t see,
that I know.
And why not?
Window
I look out of the window:
1 tree, green leaves, partly brown-yellowish and red, aspen
3 children climbing rusted monkey bars.
noise
1 bicyclist, black bicycle.
the house across the street, a slab-construction building in need of renovation
brown paint, peeling off
polka-dotted curtains, violet on white.
an old man wearing a cap, who shuffles along the street
a bird (a great tit, probably) on one of the branches.
