WITH THE BEETLES
Outside my window there are
People sleeping with the beetles
Some of them have a name
Others just a sex or an estimated age
They all lay their heads down
Within the space of a few months
Even weeks
Before the summer had truly arrived
A family of four fell asleep
On the very same night
The fifth of May
Grandmother Erna too
There are 250 or more
And they all fell asleep from the war
I see your window from here
Come and lay your head down
Next to mine
I knew the sunshine you feel
And I knew the cold nights
Now my fate is nothing but waiting for you
It happened here
And not that long ago
It happens now
And not that far away.
