An unburdening

may not be relevant, yet --


it has an effect.


Een ontboezemingEin Ausbruch wird nicht
is meestal niet terzake --zur Sache sein, hat aber --

maar heeft wel effect.wohl eine Wirkung.

Zywa My guests
(Chatterchick, Blacky and Madam)

Chatterchick is scattering cackles
because my husband follows
a truth of his own again and in vain
I am looking for silence

Blacky is in the dumps
sighing that she suffocates
in the darkening darkness
where it's never silent

It won't work!
Bring nuts and bars of chocolate!
Madam settles herself
to savour it in silence

I wish it were so
easy, Chatterchick cries
Bonkers, Fatty, Layabout
they taunt; Silence, Silence, I

shout, Go, go! I'm going
to think of something else
or thoughtlessly
do sports, get tired

I wish it were so
easy, Chatterchick cries
and the dumps are moaning
and the sofa is snoring

Zywa Panic

At night my head is free
of consciousness: no rules
but a fair

of memories in which I only
know the way
without thinking

and screeching frustrations
which from the roller coaster
of my dreams sweep back

into their old tracks and
cry out drop by drop in the sweat
of my delirious desperation

with a grimace on my face
and a word I don't understand
Everyone flees

But you can't help that, says the doctor
Before you went to sleep
your house was already on fire
