Lynn Strongin
Tiresius
Nach all diesen Jahren
meine Bedrohung
meine Rivalin meine alte Flamme kommt zurück
blind wie Tiresius, Hund, Blindenstock.
Warum waren wir Feinde?
Ich
war zu alt für Deine
Eskapaden.
Ich verlasse Dich wie ich Dich fand:
auf einem Grat
vom Schnee
verweht
alles
nur Deine
Gestalt
aus Marmor:
Zinneberrot
windjacke
wanderschuhe
schnursenkel
erleuchtet.
