I am the grain of sand born from the paving
between the tiles
- I repeat the same mantra for myself
while I watch the shoe soles that stomp me
I'm not even sure are these
thoughts my own
or did someone else take me as their own a long time ago
when they forged independence for me
My yells don't actually become louder
I just hear the static from the traffic
What am I?

Flipped over
Do you look at empty black madness
approaching floating headlights cause your pulse to rise
while you contemplate suffering and death
inside you
Did you once break yourself with your home
in a cold city you let go of yourself
washed into the sea and breathed
water
Did you strip yourself free, exposed to the flame
which braided around you, burning your clothes
while desperately trying to hide
from yourself
Have your lips been cross stitched
when you have produced pleasure and shed tears
secretly in the dark, because of a contradiction
to the world
Have you tried my boots?

Collision course
Would you look me in the eyes
would you touch me inside and out
would you make me laugh once more
even if I stared at the walls like they were a murderer
What is the real reality
- our reality -
which we have rolled for ourselves
in a rotating world
What really are emotions,
have you seen them, never touched
reached out and hit something
- if so, where?
What if I reach out and run into you?
would you touch me inside and out
would you make me laugh once more
even if I stared at the walls like they were a murderer
What is the real reality
- our reality -
which we have rolled for ourselves
in a rotating world
What really are emotions,
have you seen them, never touched
reached out and hit something
- if so, where?
What if I reach out and run into you?

Individual
Put some cotton candy in your backpack
whishingly weave through the human mass
towards the right quadricycle
You're soon home
Look through the material
note the multitude
vibration in the waves
the star still on the sky
You're not alone

Paradox
Is the mirror empty or full
in a multi(?)dimensional world
Who really looks back
from a reflective surface
How does an atom feel like,
can you look inside yourself,
what if you drowned in matter
when jumping

Leaf swirl
Laughters changed like clothes
Nature undressed itself
as we undressed each other
Tickling coldness wrapped itself around us
the leaves are swishing in the wind
our minds pressing the remember -button
When will the spinning face its end
Will I ever come down
from the green lights, from the soft ground

Friable voice
Behind the black and white lights lies the blue rainbow into my heart
Do you know how to melt the ice at the right temperature
to hear the song, in which's pace my heart beats
breathe the same air with me, from me to you and vice versa
Can I touch the tip of your nose with mine,
do you feel how the warmth leaves the stem of my toe
Can you notice the magic?
My heart melts quietly from the back door of my mind
can you hear the steps that are meant for you
to mark the path
Do you see me?

The Stream of Life
Can you focus on b e i n g y o u r s e l f
in the multimillion flow of the world
In the vortex of underpinned notions
to build
your own roof under the sea
To change, the direction of travel to your own
Blind, of the outcome
Strive to improve
every stoke
every sound
echo, whispering and flicking
Assemble the sonar
starred
to your own heart
in the multimillion flow of the world
In the vortex of underpinned notions
to build
your own roof under the sea
To change, the direction of travel to your own
Blind, of the outcome
Strive to improve
every stoke
every sound
echo, whispering and flicking
Assemble the sonar
starred
to your own heart

Roots
Will you let me slide my fingers
in the multi-stranded growth of your emotions
Do you dare to open up to me, with the
traumatic experiences of your childhood
Do you want to feel
my pulse within yours
