Poem
I bring this stone, so smooth as ebony, so you are not alone and in my memory. As it once was, when we were family. Your grave, a nameless place between some lonely birch-trees and some fern, without a gravestone, without grace. You never had a chance to turn. My hands too stiff to wave good-bye, my memories, now cold as ice, my eyes – your picture in the sky, no chance for me to say good-bye. No final stories hence to tell, I lay this stone for you with a sad heart and with a sigh. ---------------------------------------- Ich bring dir diesen Stein, so glatt wie Ebenholz, und du bist nicht allein in meiner Erinnerung So wie es einst mal war, noch als Familie Dein Grab, nur namenlose Stätte zwischen einsamen Birken und etwas Farn, und ohne Grabstein, ohne Gnade. without grace. Du hattest nie die Wahl. Meine Hände zu steif, um dir Lebwohl zu winken, meine Erinnerungen, jetzt kalt wie Eis meine Augen – dein Bild im Himmel, und keine Chance dir auf Wiedersehn zu sagen. Danch kam nichts und weiter nichts zu sagen, ich lege diesen Stein für dich mit Trauer im Herzen und einem Seufzer.
