Heart Music

for Dog Snyder


It is late in Berlin.
Before us is a palace now.
I am also surrounded by mountains.
mountains of milk,
mountains of meat,
and lakes of wine.

They are not real lakes
although they look like lakes.

I see a whore.
She is facing France.
She had wanted to speak with philosophers
like Leibniz, for example.

She had wanted to give them a short information:
to be man, woman and child
at the same time.

It is late in Berlin.
We stand here like the first people.
They forget one thing,
that the year has twelve months.

And the circus behind the ruin,
was it called the Slaughtered Lamb?

We have been shut away for so long,
children who learn how to work
when they walk,
the sycamores that carry numbers,

It is late.
The so-called Iron Lady
she is facing France.

There is nothing that makes life interesting,
registered as asocial,
quiet, with nice furniture,
house, family, a few friends.

The temperature dropped twenty years ago.
Nobody would be found
dead over a fence
