(Apples)

Every week or so,

the handcrafted bowl on the kitchen table

is filled with apples.

Rarley are they eaten.

 

And so

every week

the apples, soft and without shine

are thrown outside for the birds,

who dont eat them either.

David

His girlfriend went to Berlin,

he moved into her flat.

Now he is allowed to mess around

and other things like that.

 

He brought himself a new guitar

then severed all the strings

and promised that he`d sound a note

if she would only sing.

A Domestic Scene

Street light pours

emptilly

through the second story apartment window.

Outstretched arms of a candelstick

paint still shadows

over a punched tram ticket

and several small coins.

And still,

I think about neccessity.

Your Neighbours Garden

 

Your neighbours,

 

Who named themselves artists,

 

Kept in their garden

 

All they needed for creation.

 

We stole the picture frames but left the religious statues.
