Richard von Sturmer


2.
the metal letterbox
takes its blue
from the hydrangeas,
while on a day of high wind
the snail moves faster than its shadow

in a street
of one-eyed cats
heaps of scoria begin to appear
and I find myself walking
on another planet

view

at the start of each day
around the car's side-mirror
a spider reforms her web,
time passes in a gust of wind
time passes in a blur

view

in this city of steel
the angels are sleeping,
a lifetime extends before us
but no one arrives
and no one departs

view

13.
I've a book you should read
the text lies in ruins,
but the best part
is the rain
and the blue-tongued lizard
