Zywa

Zywa Sorcerer's apprentices in the haze

It bangs it bubbles
it twinkles it grows it is
a hive of activity, each molecule
a sorcerers apprentice in the smithy
without smith, the creation
of multiple existence

crystal clear fermenting in the haze
it tumbles it steams it connects
water and fire, chains of reactions
stable series hook together, swish
push forward in lines ahead ahead
it bangs it bubbles it grows

the world in tinkling processes
tries out and invents itself
sweeps with squalls, shuffles in waves
dances and sings little bells in the water
ahead ahead the sorcerers fall
and fall over each other

Zywa Ripples

A feather stick makes wind
over the ripples of the keyboard

dust whirling up and down
from the swaying

Again and again a run-up
And the light beaming through

The storm plays with the beach
it winnows, just toss it, and toss it

Sand ripples along the sea
The horn of a late guest

Last notes, last gusts
the wind lies down on the edge

of the old sea
and the new land

Zywa Now the hour?

Rumbling thunder, the world trembles
by heavenly hand, stormy air
shakes the earth
Consuming fire

enveloped in massive black smoke
from further than visible
strikes into the earth, burns
an anchor in its core

Is this the day of wrath, now

the hour, the breaking
of the seals, the seething
of the winds, the pounding
of the hearts?

Like war horses swarms of locusts
roar out of the smoke, they fume
sulphur, stab like scorpions
storm ahead and beat the drum

Stop

Zywa Touched tree

Move like little bells
leaves in the wind
blown, plucked

bend aside, participate
shake the trunk
dance on clubfeet

stamp the beat
sway my hair around
pose and ruckle

with the smallest branches
and slightly ruffle
my carrot heels

Zywa Call of the owl

It starts in the little square
in the evening. Fresh air
The palms relax

Soft light from oil lamps
An owl calls, the snake-
charmer opens the baskets

blowing his whistle. Turmoil in the trees
a bird paradise. Slim
boys stretch themselves

The drum brings the wheel
in motion, a spider prince
puts his arms and legs

down on the tones of the flute
and dances around the time wheel
The snakes are raising

Just before I fall asleep
rolled up in my basket
the owl calls again

Zywa Song of the sea

Slowly I sink away, into the deep sea
the full sea: I get dizzy from shoals
of fish shooting away and still being there

In the light above me glides the white
ship of a swan over
the bubbles from my mouth

I hear cricket-song in the high grass
a seagull flies over, warning
and veering, waves roll up

tumble over each other
break and plunge in their trough
out of which I emerge breathing

Zywa Rainbow

No one paid attention
till the water poured over
the mountain ridge into the lake
It was raining all summer
a dense gray aerial

sea shed
as a world ocean
over the earth, a thick skin
of beating wood came flooding
up, do not mind the animals

Do not look for people
you knów
the old world
still bubbles up a bit
from the drowned trees

The water stretches
and tautens a flat mirror
under the sky and the rainbow
My boat floats
until it gets stranded

Zywa Smithy

It grinds, sparks and flies
in a cave too large and too dark
to see, too deep to fathom
Signals
     shoot around
          in a paradoxical balance

Light-years are soughing past
a hammer bangs in the white noise
It crackles
     new systems
          of infinity

Stars bubble up, deep from the pan
they sparkle and search for a place in space
The universe is embossed
     Star strings spin away
          soughing through the non-existent

Alchemy of creation
Inside the flask it boils around
Melting pot
     Cauldron
          Magic brew

Curtains of matter fall
past, everything flies
far and small
     travelling to the nothingness
          that cannot come into being
