“Sommermittag am See Der Mittag träumt. Der See bewegt sich träge. Im einsam weißen Haus klagt das Klavier. Die Uhr macht langsam ihre Stundenschläge. Auf heißem Stein sonnt sich ein Katzentier. Im Strandbad lassen sich die Menschen schmoren, es riecht so sommerlich nach Holz und Teer. Man fühlt sich ohne Pflichten, weltverloren, und spürt den nahen Süden und sein Meer.”

“FRIENDSHIP 1. Ask me not. What is Friendship? I do not know. 2. What is friendship? I do not know. . . . I have longed for my friend. 3. Friendship? I do not know. I asked only for Friendship. 4. Was it Friendship? I do not know. . . . the canon boom dispersed the starlings.”

“I want to make you mine, not just in whispered promises, not just in silent prayers, but in the life we build, brick by brick, hand in hand. But my hands empty, searching grasp only air where security should be. Not because I do not try, not because I do not dream, but because the world demands more than love alone. I am not afraid of struggle. I am not ashamed of waiting. But I fear the days slipping, the distance stretching, the time that asks me, "When?" when I have no answer yet. I do not want to come to you with only poetry in my pockets, with only love in my voice. I want to bring you a future, solid as the ground beneath our feet, safe as the home I will build for us. So I walk forward, step by step, fight by fight, knowing that one day, when I stand before you, it won’t just be as a lover but as the man who kept his promise.”

“What goes up in sound must come down in silence / She who was with us in dusk is by dawn no longer / Death's corridor is a corn poppy meadow where a chord of Danubian meadow vipers becomes -- /A triangular welcome rug / An ancestral tambourine / An unspooling mother tongue”

“Calm as the sea, sipping the storms, Her heart is a flower, yet beats like stones. She's polite and pleasing, but don’t dare to pluck, She wraps karma in her sleeves, and in her bun, your luck.”

“No photograph records that day's unmaking roar. Things ripped from skins, words from definitions. Letters distilled until incomprehensible, whistles, clicks, thrummed dipthongs an underwater song too deep for human ears. From "Uh-Oh”

“She is the vampire of us all. So she supports us, Fattens us, is kind. Her mouth is red. I know her. I know her intimately — Old winter-face, old barren one, old time bomb. Men have used her meanly. She will eat them. Eat them, eat them, eat them in the end.”
