DRAGON'S BLOOD
|
|
|
|
You can see
all the rooms
in my castle
except one
There is
the pool
with the dragon´s
blood
in which I bathe
myself
every morning
|
|
THE MOLE
|
|
I have dug pathways
for years
always further away
from the light
until I grew a fur coat
from head to toe
and my fingers bent
themselves
into claws
Now though
as I slowly
go blind
I feel
a longing
for light
|
|
IN THE FIRE
|
|
Quiet!
The fire crackles
the roof beams are already burning
Before my window
the flames crash together
Finally
I am alone
Peacefully, I will drink
the last cup of tea
and blow out the candles
