Chill winter mist
I walk alone through the country
where they murdered my mother
incited by the political valets
of big business, our country
which shapes my thoughts
and hides my longing body
and your longing body
under collective fear
which is still held hostage
by the many-headed dragon of
the arrogant screamers who drive
us into war in their interests
which leaves me standing alone
next to the barracks and the new
golf course of the businessmen, I call
upon all the wise men, saints and angels
in the midst of the whirlwind
of suffering that does not exist
in the mouths of the spokesmen -
made invisible by their breath

Why are you afraid?
Does it give you the reward --
of fewer hard hits?
Waarom ben je bang?
Warum hast du Angst?
Krijg je dan als beloning --
Bekommst du als Belohnung --
zachtere klappen?
sanftere Schläge?

packed with fear, choo-choo along --
frightened listeners.

Züge voller Furcht
's nachts volgepakt met angst langs --

bange toehoorders.

I know what fear is:
shrinking further and further --
between four white walls.
Ik weet wat angst is:
Ich weiß was Angst ist:
steeds verder moeten krimpen --
immer mal weiter schrumpfen --
tussen vier muren.
zwischen vier Wänden.
Poem S1297 Amsterdam, 2021-12-17 Air route (Meity Völke) - 2020 Poem "Vluchtroute" (collection "aan het licht") Collection: Shelter Tribute to: Völke, Meity
I break and hammer, cleave and create
my punches stretch, force the mark
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
of spiders, rats or rattlesnakes
I toil and sweat, I pant for breath
the water is startled and whines an outcry
the bellows insufflate, swell ans aspirate
the flaming white iron bends
I break and hammer, cleave and create
my punches stretch, force the mark
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
of open air or a long corridor
arc after arc my arm carries out
the wishes of my master's eye
I hammer harder to hard
beat sparks out of my burning heart
I break and hammer, cleave and create
my punches stretch, force the mark
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
of heights, neither of downfall
no sun is shining over here, there is no day
no morning, dusk or night, no time
is counting over here, just the sledgehammer blow
the rhythm of my punching strength
I break and hammer, cleave and create
my punches stretch, force the mark
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
of fears and their compulsion and urge
