Each sway turns over

another sway, all night long --


we keep on dancing.


Elke zwier zwengeltJeder Schwung kurbelt
weer een zwier aan, heel de nacht --einen Schwung an, wir tanzen --

blijven wij dansen.die ganze Nacht durch.

Zywa Weigh anchors

Selfless in the shared room, fortunately
unable to be unhappy
say the doctor and the monitor

Maybe in mists, light
or dark, free or lost
hanging in heaven. Abyss

Silence conceals the angel
at the gate to the Bosom
of the righteous, or is it my hand

around your hand, holding you
in no man's land, and do we still haunt
through the motionless veil labyrinth

that encloses people endlessly
in the whitest white light?
Shall I let you go, shall we

lift our anchors
from each other's bosoms
of love?
