Zywa Quiet middle

In deep repose, my body
in infinite space
in the quiet middle

of the galaxies
slowly around me -
my thoughts stray in time

between the rush hours, loose
between the sounds waving in
between the blowing net curtain

and fading away
Clearly I hear the voice
of a free string

in the rhythms of traffic
in flurries of gamelan and conga
in sound sequences and interludes

on an autumn afternoon
and in front of me in the hall
sits a handsome man

Zywa Angels in the park

As with the landing
of an unearthly traveling
saucer in a clearing

in the park, we walk
with our ears
through the large cube hall

red in the vibrating light
Mighty trills pull us
up, out of the seats

into a dimension
for which we lack the senses
but with each step we feel

eternalized time
until we shall dissolve
into another existence

Angels walk like this
immortally themselves
in heavenly light

We soar
we rumble
with a whole fleet

away from the earth

The castle ruins

have an imposingly high --

met echte sterren.mit echten Sterne.
