Gerhard Falkner
Self P i ty (SELBST MIT LEID)
extraneous i move away
from your obdurate room
outside like the evil red lilac
the sorrow
of the most everyday things
the hours, not ours, of the year – now past
the blows (as always) meted out
that pillow-fight
gory underwear
Kleist’s officer’s boots
either lost or littered
upon the capacious battlefield
of posthistoire
from your obdurate room
outside like the evil red lilac
the sorrow
of the most everyday things
the hours, not ours, of the year – now past
the blows (as always) meted out
that pillow-fight
gory underwear
Kleist’s officer’s boots
either lost or littered
upon the capacious battlefield
of posthistoire
