translation from the German by Eric Torgersen

Juices

Here it is again
I never wanted it
a breakfast
and a Sunday
like this one
(really
I never wanted it)
she thinks
it’s all part of it
(with all
the nice touches)
ah black coffee
juices (juices)
ham and
what shall I say
fingers
under a skirt like that
that / is / Spring
birds singing
that is
everything good
under one roof
thinking in lines
moods
from records
the casual
fucking
a little here a little there
the just pretending
then everything
stops
wipe off the table
she says: that’s typical
that
there on the paper
