Must guard when she goes to the can

Or truly commit
And pee on the floor like a man!

neigt von mir ab
Ist alles schön

Was giftig ist
zermatsche ich
Ich bin giftig
Zermatsche ich mich

“In Sweden”, our host did proclaim
“We all eat a whole lot of game
Not chicken or goose
But reindeer and moose
And we eat it with no sense of shame”

Ruf Der Taube/ Call of the Pigeon/ Grito De La Paloma

Erstrahlend im Licht
Das zarte Grün der Akazie
Und der Ruf der Taube

And the call of the pigeon

Y el grito de la Paloma

Der Turmfalke

The weight inside a dive;
Drop against the wind;
The reduced quilt of cornfields

Falls over the horizon,
Covers a mess of houses
And lanes,bangs like a wet 

Cloth; heed the hunter`s eyes !
The terrible beauty of sinking
In air, the small last second.

Der Mond Ist Hoch

stay, my brother
I beg you
the sun has gone
and the night will befriend
no travelers

what callous hands
so heavy
reach for my face
leaving timeless traces
of their merit

sleep, my brother
I beg you
the moon is high
and the dawn returns us
to simpler times

Frankie, Der Bingle and Perry must all be turning over in their graves Have you watched or heard today's “singers”... for the good old days I crave They no longer sing It's like rhyme talking Oh for those days of long ago, seems I'm living in the past today

Premium Member Storms Thun Der Rains Hard-

the sunshine is gone
falls down the rain flowing hard
sewers backing up

water covers streets
over taking sidewalks paths
rains hard thunder storms

rain falling flowing
leaving clouds falling to earth
storms thunder rains hard

Schrei Der Eule/Call of the Owl/Grito De Lechusa

Im blassen Mondlicht
Einsamer Ruf einer Eule
Geruch von Kiefern

A solitary call of an owl
Fragrance of pine trees

Un solitario grito de una lechuza
Odor de mandíbulas

Maria Voll Der Gnade

You are a shadow
Outside in the timber

Dancing as a wicked virgin,
You throw me like a

Kitten against a farmer`s wall,
Or wait like a freight train

In the night, frozen under
Stars, haloed with steam;

And when your drained face
Is flightingly seen at distance;

More outside; grace unknown.

Die Augen Der Nacht, the Eyes of the Night, Los Ojos De La Noche

Vor den Augen der Nacht
Verschwimmt die Einsamkeit
So ganz tränenlos

---------------------------------------

The  loneliness blurrs
In front of the eyes of the night
Completely without tears

---------------------------------------

Antes de los ojos de la noche 
Se desvanesce la soledad
Así sin lágrimas

Der Ruf Der Frösche(German)/English/Spanish

Zwischen den Seerosen
Herüber tönend vom nahen Teich
Der laute Ruf der Frösche

---------------------------------------

Between water-lilies
Resounding from a near pond
Sononorous calls of  frogs

---------------------------------------

Entre los nenúfares
Suenan del estanque cercano
Fuertes gritos de ranas

Der Flug Nach Deutschland

Boston is for leaving.
Torgau is for brothers
Weimar is for mourners.
Dresden is for lovers.

Leipzig is for players. 
Meissen is for Sisyphus.
Frankfurt is for patience.
Berlin is for the two of us.

Ride the bus down,
board the flight across the earth.
fly "der Flug nach Deutschland"
and hold on for what it's worth.

Into an inhumane Ghetto

Der Weihnachtsmann

Der Weihnachtsmann
Lieblich und schoen,
Fuetert die Rehe mit liebe,
Er traegt ein roten Anzug,
Sein Schlitten traditional und schoen,
Wir haben Ihn gern,
Jedes Jahr bringt Er Freude zu den Menschen,
Er singt ein Lied fuer Weihanchten,
Er hat ganz liebe blaue Augen,
Gottes Segen fuer die Menschheit.

Grünes Paradies
Am Seitenarm der Mandau

Aus den Sträuchern am Ufer

At a side arm of the Mandau
So close by the street

Bright bird's twitter
From the shrubs at the shore

Cantos vivos de pájaros
De los arbustos en la orilla

The Spi-Der Who Loved Me

Help! I called as my wing caught in a web
It’s cold out here and I want to get back
To the warm, moist bin my family’s in
Fuzzy legs appeared, I counted eight
Then a great, big head and round red eyes…

I gulped – Help! I cried weakly again
I swear the creature grinned
Then as my buzz grew faint 
It peered up close and did declare

You’re too sweet to eat
So fly away fly to your family
My folks are deadly
I love you so leave me

Der Spiegel

On reading Der Spiegel 
 In Kashgar where the 
The Silk Road begins
 I a bought 
An apricot
From a woman who wore 
A red shawl
Over her black hair
 Knotted under
Her chin 
And a yellow silk dress
Kashgar the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world 
Europe is so puny 
And far away
A new silk road 
Is being built 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade
For China 
Ok, as long as they sell 
Apricots 
At the market place
In Kashgar

Ruf Der Kraniche/ Call of the Cranes/El Grito De Las Grullas

Aus weiter Ferne
Ertönt der Ruf der Kraniche
Am späten Mittag

Über den Wiesen am Wald
Liegt noch milchig der Nebel

----------------------------------------

From a far distance
Sounds the call of the cranes
Late at midday

Over the meadows near the woods
Still lingers the milky fog

----------------------------------------

Suena de lejanía
El grito de las grúas
Por tarde mediodía

Sobre prados del bosque
Aún queda lechoso niebla
