Lost spaces in the crowded city
Places to visit for memory or
Out of desperation,
The crowds has moved on
Below in their dirty cars
I stand on the bridge
Trying to remember
The lost river
Late Places
The City
Fear drives
The city forward
Fear of accidents
Thieves, crazy people
Tricksters and fraudsters
Psychopaths and psychiatrists
Employers and abusers
All those traps that hide
Behind the facade of the city
All the cameras, barbed wire, walls
fences, guards will not do
The more safety the less secure you
Will feel

Revenge
To forgive is not easily done
Memories comes back
The perpetrator well off rich
Do not regret but celebrate
His act still after thirty years
The memory remains
An open wound
I don’t love, I do not hate
I realize that
I will not make it
I messed it up
I do not seek to forgive
I do not seek forgiveness
Anymore, just strength
To make it through
The day

Christmas in Dubrovnik
Moving through the highly risky
Terrain in a lush green forest
Above the old city
I remembered
The war more than 10 years ago
Still visible with all its
Shellmarks making
Roses on the ground
Telling a distant story
Of terror and death
The war had just ended
At Christmas, just a
Shell fired in the afternoon
From the enemy in order to
Make their presence known
Later that night
The captain shot
His girlfriend in a bar
Not far from the Hotel
The scars lingers under the surface
But surface
Cosmetic beauty that money can buy
Is what you will see

Chicago
I came to Chicago
Filled with sinful desires
A crossroad became my destiny
Lost and haunted by the ghost
Of the big city by the blue lake
I retreated back
Not any wiser
But still filled
With desire

Freedom Drive
Driving around the empty city
Feeling happy
Because of a little stolen time
The Christmas chimera soon
To be gone as a hallucinogenic
Luna Park at Burning man
The short gray days has stolen
All energy and hope
Still the night offers great remorse
As I drive through the empty streets
Early in the black afternoon

Outside
Out in the world
A quick dive
Into reality
The noise, the smell, the cold
People moving around seemingly without a plan
I have fear, deep fear
That i cannot handle in any way
I am a prisoner of my own mind
No matter where I go
My cell will follow me

Opera
The is a stage
And you are not invited
Other spectators are delighted
But face the fact and react
This is your only chance
By all means well-meaning
People that wants to form you
For their own affirmation
Their gateway to the secular heaven
One of many illusions of our time

The children’s play on the floor
Of the exhibition hall
Pretending to be in another world
Being close and still so far apart
Life separate us
Creating that imbalance
That builds cities and life’s
Contradictions necessary and
Unavoidable
But in the end
It will destroy us
Life running through us
On the way to something
Else

Lost
I am so confused
Have no oversight
No visions
No perspective
Only trying to get through
The jungle that is this city
Walking in circles in dark alleyways
Talking to strangers
With their own agenda
In my pocket is a white stone
Like an amulett
