Smetterling und Seifenblasen (Buttierflies & Bubbles)

To Daniela Dey, from me, circa 1986:


Das verstehe Ich nicht
meine Smetterling hat sich
in eines Seifenblasen verwandlet.
Du warst mir lieber in des formes
eines Smetterlings -- dein Flug war etwas
verruckt und nie gerade
Jedoch voller Uberraschingung.



English Translation:

I don't understand it
my Buttery fly has
changed itself into a Soap Bubble.
I liked you better in the form
of a Butteryfly -- your flight was somewhat
crazy and never straight.
but full of unpredictability.
