Two women are walking together in the park. One is talking about the pandemic. Pointing at the ducks, the other woman says: "Lass uns als Ablenkung etwas schönes gucken." (Let us, as a distraction, look at something beautiful.)
Three Murder Stories
The sun bleeding
in the water
soaking wet
drenching the grass
until it reaches my feet
*
a crow
suspends in the air
over a little dog
pondering its power
before the dog's sharp
bark
hushes it away

Three Poems
the trees throw
their trunks in
stripes to the ground
*
fine lines
drawn by
branches
across
a sky
heavy with
rain
that
promises
to
fall
down
*
writing poetry
outside is
easier than
inside
so I open
the balcony
door and quickly jot
down these
words
