ADVENT

 

The day is muffled up

 

The cold stands shivering

 

The warmth stays indoors

 

The atmosphere suffers from asthma

 

Memories don't recall anything

 

The Earth is homeless

 

In Gaza, Israel offers body parts

 

God has other things to attend to

 

Abraham & Moses begin to retract their statements

 

Seventeen Swedish regiments file a class action against peace

 

The mood is perma-frosty

 

For granted is taken again and again, group-rapy

 

I seize the opportunity to live as soon as I have a life to spare

 

Someone starts showing signs

 

Slippery newborns pass from hand to hand

 

Someone weeps in the porridge long ago

 

Futures fight amongst themselves

 

Enough is full of itself

 

Nothing always has room for more

 

I have a you-mirror, you an I

 

The hunt is circular: Who hunter, who prey?

 

I begin to harbour feelings of guilt for food, warmth, clothes;

for pen & paper

 

Suffering is meticulous & precise,

delivered by the diligent & reliable

 

I take a bite of devastation, sweet as honey

in the daily innocence

 

Misunderstandings form sects; receive state grants

 

The measured time has serious flaws

 

Death is either a repressive measure

or an evasion

 

A cup of coffee forgives everything
