The Ultimate Vehicle of Earthly Bliss - 19. Future memories
.
Sonett IV.
Dann kam die müde, letzte Stunde.
Ich schloß die Augen zu vor dir
Und hing nur wild an deinem Munde
Und spürte wie das Leben mir
Mit jeder wechselnden Sekunde
Versickerte, als ob du mir
Um Herzen kußtest eine Wunde.
Der Abend kam herein. Doch wir
Wußten nur unser letztes Schweigen.
Und die Erinnerungen schlangen
Um uns seltsame Totenreigen.
Da bist du endlich fortgegangen –
Wie einer, dem nichts mehr zu eigen –
Dir folgte lautlos mein Verlangen. [i]

Sonnet IV.
Then came the exhausted, final hour.
I closed my eyes to you and clung
Wildly upon your mouth, feeling
How quick life sped away from me
And sped with every changing second
As if your kisses were around
A stigmata opening in my heart.
The evening settled. And yet we
Only savored our parting silence.
For the future memories then snaked
A strange dance of mortality.
Then at last, when you went away, I –
Like one who has nothing else to lose –
Felt my mute wants trail after you.
