Among the next few pieces that I shall enter on here will be works that I wrote while I was in the rehab clinic in Bad Nauheim following my heart attack in 2008.
The first is called "Silence". It is a sort of poem, but in a very loose sense of the word.
You sit
In your silent room
With its silent phrases
And silent puncuation
Alone
Untouched by all this crazy world
And its crazed obsessions
Like success and failure
And fat and starvation thin
Finding nothing
Neither dreams nor hope nor sense
Nor illusion nor delusion still
And the truth repeats itself
Still and silent repeatedly -
Only words can save me!
