Back then is a word ….
that you come across, sooner or later.
Back then, when i put the moon with the sun
confused.
Bright and perfectly shaped at night
dazzling foam during the day.
Back then … I wasn't very bright, or?
And yet much brighter …. the Diessbach bubbled
down the rotten lock.
We set off with a kettle
and explored the narrow course of the river.
That weird tiny silver star,
the one in the sand, in the dirt, in stone, and, even in the feces
starts to glow, we extracted it.
Who left everything for an apple from the tree,
we were too, back then.
—
Back then … a word …..
Other, ancient old caress of a salivated doll.
For those too early today parted.
And for whom no word can unite today:
moon as sun and sun as moon.
