REQUIEM
for an unborn child
I The child
Look at you!
You’ve become Man:
so there be a beginning
Man was created.
And already human is
what still must become Man:
Children are the stars of the world.
Inexplicable where they come from
Inconceivable where they will go
yet the wisdom of creation
lies still dormant within them.
II The Parents
(Fall in love):
The world is a set
so I must be in love.
(Wedding):
Only you
and the worms in the tomb?
(Marriage):
If you can’t stand my truth,
I will lie to you.
III Society
Peacefully plays my child
and behind the fence
soldiers practice war.
IV Creation
You believe
your deeds are eternal.
Yet they are not,
neither are Nature’s,
Nor God’s.
Change alone is eternal
where nothing and all remains
in the space of time.
Single-existence
must die
so that life
never divides.
What other choice
is left to you
than to love thy neighbor from
whom only death separates you.
For eternal is only unity
and eternal is unity in change.
Permanent deeds
you can never achieve.
Neither can Nature
nor can God.
V The Future 1
The eagle encircles the lamb
The pig bites its offspring
Man attacks before
Syphilis - Action:
the world is all. And nice?
Hyper - Action:
the world is nice and not at all.
Intoxic - Action:
the world is. And not nice at all.
Sterilis - Action:
the world is not: and nice.
Civilis - Action:
not at all! And the world is nice.
VI The Future 2
One needs good luck
to join the human club
to be or not to be
to be not or to be
to be too or be not
the question is:
fifty/fifty dead or alive
50 % 50 live and let die
VII The Future 3
Blissful sleeps a child
Deep within the womb:
Ma...Ma
Trau Ma
Still an indivisible part of One
poison slinks in the cradle
snake - injection.
No one knows death!
You feel it before
your grand- and
A- parents
With more blood than tears;
goes over board
- abort -
a name never named
never signed
Future? What is that?
meant was a man
Who will:
Never be.
VIII
One came forth and said:
“The world has been created
and Man will disappear.”
He gained entry.
Another said:
“Also Man has been created
and the world will disappear.”
He was expelled.
A third said:
“All is being born
until death.
And all
is dying
from the beginning.”
He was laughed at.
Thus said a fourth:
“Once you are conceived,
you will not
be born as
any other!”
IX
Courage!
In the middle
I will descend,
to this dark gate.
In the light of the black sun
I’m coming to you,
woman, warm and bleeding.
Take me in:
I want to rest and sink
till the last sound.
And now!
Throw me out into the world.
"Mother! I live
and know death."
Look at you!
You’ve became Man!
And you don’t know how;
and you don’t know when.
