Tag: Germany

I smiled at the swiftly approaching lights and laughed soundlessly
I’d walk away without a cent
Things were falling into balance
How long has this been going on?
You’re trying on expressions
All the snores from the last night have stuck to the walls
Nothing could shut the noise out
Leave me alone
I just knew what you were going to say
I’m not really very easy. You don’t know me at all
His expression was intent and preoccupied
Just your kind of thing
It was almost a form of happiness
This is all there is ‒ being alive, just here; right now
There was too much that could happen
A friend of a friend
Don’t be afraid
He was keen to talk about himself
They might as well keep each other company
Much of it was just ordinary aging
He seemed at a loss as to what to do without her
Gone fishin’
When the flow of life twists and untwists
You repent the things you’ve done, and regret the chances you let get away
I wonder if you’re like me
Ours is a good neighborhood
People in bathrobes stroll around here at all hours
I dreamed of a wild landscape
There was nobody there
I didn’t ask why
The new regrets
The persistence of the old regrets
The distance I’ve travelled from my own youth
It became a test of strength
Another silence comes to mind
I concentrated on the flat asphalt ribbon
I stared helplessly
No one else wanted me
After a while you learn that everything stops
Where I went I would not go back
I felt as if I had been hijacked
Gone fishin’
This is going to work, I tell myself
The top of the mountain looms ahead
But it got worse
There is no sound, nothing
Well, he was at the end of all that now
He didn’t know where this was leading
I am ready for anything
We don’t even exist
