VERLIEBTHEIT - Self-translated poems 7

It’s only a cherry tree

-and the thought of you that gives

          warmth

to me

Teach me how to breathe

The  wood gets wide

where a lily

                     revives

On the railing raindrops sing

Teach me how to smile

I go

and  return

through you

to me

and you don’t even know

                              what I  feel

          -isn’t it a wonder?

Teach me how to be still
