Beschreibung

can the written word change the world? yes, because it can touch our hearts and fulfill us then, today and in the distant future perhaps more than anything else.

dedication

i dedicate this book

to my wonderful family:

my two daughters

and my husband ...

i love you so much.

And

to prof. friedrich zavarsky,

who encouraged me to discover my talents

and my passion for language and literature ;

as an educator and as a valuable person.

thank you for everything.

parable II

there

between the lines

lies a light

in the folds

of my

desk lamp

maybe

the inkling of a

poem

do not destroy it

if you

thoughtlessly

think

about something

dark

waidhofen/ybbs

formerly home

now at home

more often

disconcerting

because

the foreign can´t take root

in the narrow streets

in a pattern mix of

narrow-mindedness

and ironed smooth

pinstripe and vintage

balls and events

a well-maintained

elite parquet

which is slippery

but also

well suited for

dancing

dying city center

empty benches

in between an

overgrown mountain

steeples and schools

why did i return

here

perhaps

you mean more

to me

than i hoped

far away i have

learned to dance

on smooth boards

without slipping

and the people here

are still

just as lovable

like many years ago

i am

one of them

covered

the climate change

heats me up

the ukrainian war

occupies my head

rising poverty

makes me ashamed

coronademos

horrify me

the election result

makes me angry

but still

nothing can stop me

neither

rising sea levels

neither war pictures

neither children starving

neither hate speech

nor election stream analysis

from telling you

that the world is good

if you roll up your sleeves

and keep them rolled up

and if you leave your

own comfort zone

that the world is

and will always be

the way we ourselves

create it

if i did´nt believe(for herwig)

before you had to leave

i should have told you

how important you have been to me

how much i respected you

and - in my own way -

loved you so much

that everything misleading

between us

had long been cleared out

and did no longer exist

than in memory

how ashamed i was
