From sick bed
Language: english
Translations:
german (Vom Krankenbett)
From sick bed
the surgeon’s scalpel
superimposed
your image in my mind
fear driven
underfoot
and my soul
fuelled with bravery
for you
in sick bed
I cuddled you
in photography
your heartbeats
like in the university room
where our tongues
interlocked
and speech was killed
seven days
I held you close
inside my bladed skin
and wondered at the world
a huge theatre
where some are crushed
by sparks of terrorists
and others crashed
into blazes of riots
and yet others
perished in the quiet
beds of dead hospitals.
