Temeswar
Mai 2007
Akazien in Blüte,
doch Häuser und
Straßen
die Blüte
vergaßen.
Der Sommer
verfrühte,
die Rosen im
Garten*
kein Lächeln
erwarten -
dem Blicke
erstarren,
einst golden sie
waren.
Verstolperte
Freude
zu unserem Leide
ist alles
vollbracht.
Erschließendes
Waren**,
verzögertes
Werden...
Verhärmte
Gesichter,
die Blicke kaum
lichter
begegnen uns
alt...
Die Bilder
vertrüben,
den Abschied wir
üben
verdrossen und
kalt.
Erläuterung

[Temeswar Rose
Garden]
** das nominal
gebrauchte
Verbum SEIN
[from the verb
TO BE] |
Temeswar
May 2007
Acacias in
bloom,
but houses and
roads
forgot the
flower.
The summer came
early,
the roses in the
Garten*
do not expect a
smile –
to our views
stiffen,
but once they
were golden.
Stumbled joy
to our deep
sorrow
it all is now
done.
Developing
has-been **,
a postponed
becoming…
Careworn faces,
the gaze hardly
lighter
appear to us
old…
The pictures get
cloudy,
we practice the
parting
sulky and cold.

Banat, Mai 2007
Entlang
verstümmelter Dörfer
ergieren* sich Bäche
an unermässlichem
Abfallreichtum –
als fatale
Feiertagsleckerbissen
für abgeschlanktes**
Weidevieh.
Entzauberte
Industriegiganten
ernten den Spott
dornröschenhafter
k.u.k. - Fossilien.

Hoffnung
für Allzeit....

Montan Banat
Banat, May 2007
Along mutilated
villages
brooks greedily*
emerge
on immeasurable
wealth of waste
as fatal holiday
delicacies
for slimming-down **
grazing cattle.
Disenchanted
industrial giants
deserving the
mockery
as sleeping-beauty
k.u.k. *** fossils.
Widowed hope
for eternity….
