Atem holen

Ganz bei mir

Time for me. Slow down slow but don´t stop. You can´t hold back the tide throwing the pebbles on the shore they have to get pulled to and fro and the the shape of the landscape is allowed to change, it shifts and is shifted.

The tugging hurts and

I want to brake but there is no braking only resistance that slows to breaking point the

matter I am

made of.

Eindrücke

Schwimmen in mir herum

und lassen mich,

verlassen mich

wie eine Welle die mich am Sand trägt und sich zurück zieht

Die Spuren die in mir hinterlassen worden sind

Spielen weiter

A New Dancing Partner

For several months now

I have a new dancing partner

He dresses in black and shiny violet.

My stable companion

Allows me to twist and twirl

With just a flick of my wrist.

He keeps me in time to the music.

Together we light two candles

They absorb the pain, the tears.

Together my walking frame and I

Dance into the sunshine.

My Dancing Partner

My dancing partner

Squeaks and clanks

As it twists and turns

Adding its own imperfect

Sounds to the music.

It will not be out-played

Nor will I be out-danced!

The Balloon Dance

My daughter was 3 years old,

The music played.

The teacher sang:

« Dance and dance

And sauté, sauté”

My daughter held her imaginary balloon and danced.

Her heart and soul danced in rhythm to the music.

I watched her

And I cried.
