The alarm lights beep,

and we see: our turbo lives --

are falling apart.



De lampjes piepen,	Die Lichter piepen,
we zien ons turboleven --	unser Turbo-Leben fällt --
uit elkaar vallen.	schon auseinander.

Busy people have

to watch at high and slow speed --

to see who they are.



De drukke mens moet	Der Mensch muss schneller
versneld en vertraagd kijken --	und langsamer schauen, um --
om zichzelf te zien.	sich selbst zu sehen.

Zywa Evenings are obligatory

Evenings are obligatory

if possible with love
to push the bustle out
of our day head

Like couples at the weekend
in the evening in the park
leaning against each other

folding their hands
in the hands of the other
in the light of the moon

There's nothing to add to their hearts
although she eventually asks him
kiss me

Zywa Train

Holiday on sandals
counting my steps
in the soft sand
along the bay

one two three four
one two three four
one two three four five six
seven eight

from fingers to abacus and further
to formulas and then their simplification
E = mc²
two three four one

two three four
one two
one two three
one two three three

the shifting sound
of voices and waves
crystal clear on the beach
34 years later
