I'm no heroine

I'm no heroine

at least, not last time I checked

I'm too easy to roll over

I'm too easy to wreck

I just write about

what I should have done

I just sing

what I wish I could say

and hope somewhere

some woman hears my music

and it helps her through her day

My life closed twice before its close;

It yet remains to see

If Immortality unveil

A third event to me

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,

As these that twice befell.

Parting is all we know of heaven,

And all we need of hell.

(Emily Dickinson)

Meine Hoffnung

In deinem Alter mein Kind,

hat jeder Mensch noch Gründe,

anzunehmen,er könnte fliegen

wie laufen lernen.

Ich werde mich hüten,

dich aufzuklären.

Vielleicht

bin doch ich es,

der sich irrt.

(Heinz Kahlau)
