This is it For now Sweat Blood Tears Shit Semen We cry We long We mate We dream We deliver We defecate Eventually we die It is what we are here for Perfection is elsewhere Stars Moon Sky Are heartless There is nothing to break Silence guides The havoc we wreak Our futile fight against The ultimate cause If planets had a soul They would laugh As it is there is No answer to be expected Walls Limits Borders Merging Fusion Break-up Isolation The unsavoury things we do The sweetness we sow The tenderness we reap Fear Pain Pleasure Laughter Loss Life Questions litter our rooms like corpses Doubt overgrows our gardens Clouds of guilt blacken our sun Arbitrary Dispensable Imaginary While we breathe Mistakes are obligatory We are not supposed To reach our graves Unsoiled Our skin is not our Sunday dress Mother will not scold us For being dirty We are meant to Stain the carpet It is the only mark We leave The only sign We were really here October 2006

Your style is "slap in the face" poetic and I mean that as a complete compliment, Ulrike. Thank you. Be well and happy. Your friend from BC, Canada,
