Der Abend
für Golo Gangi [alias Erwin Loewenson]
1.
Was soll ich tun?
Soll ich/ gelähmt mich/ während die Flotille
Geschwollner Wellen ihre Wut zerschlägt,
Hinwerfen?
Oder die Blätter hin
Ohnmächtig
Ihren knirschenden Adern entlang
Aufreißen.
Während ich schreie, weh,
Schreitest du weiter, schwindet dein weißes Kleid
Weit in klanglose Dämmerung. [i]

The Evening Light
for Golo Gangi [aka Erwin Loewenson]
1.
What do I do?
Shall I/ paralyzed myself/ among the flood
Whose swelling tides and fury can shatter,
Fall prostrate?
What of the fallen leaves
Cast downward
Along with their gnarled crackling veins
Torn open.
And while I shout, aching,
You stride relentlessly on, your white smock fading
Far into the silent twilight.
