Das traurige Gesicht vor der im Winter geschlossenen Eisdiele (The Sad Face in Front of the Ice Cream Parlor Closed in Winter)

Gedicht / Poem The Frozen Scoop of Sorrow Blue shadows drip like melting cream, A sugar-cone lost in a winter dream. Tucholsky’s ghost wants a lemon zest, But the shuttered window offers no rest.

Kafka’s usher with no door to show, Just a silhouette where the shadows grow. Step right up to the … Read more
