In the Breath of Books
A glimpse into my present from the year 1983 I painted this picture when I was 11 years old. The year 1983 is visible on the wall calendar. Luckily, my parents kept this childhood drawing, as well as many others – pictures on which I lovingly drew in great detail, using up countless felt-tip pens. This picture pleases me especially because it seems that back then, at the age of 11, I already knew what I wanted to do later in life - and what my living space might look like. An

Many
How many people write how many people paint how many draw and suffer and create without numbers How many are hoping and waiting How many cease to be? How many will manage and start? to become and to appear How many fall and remain lying?

And why am I not using gender-inclusive language? ... So many questions! I'm a writer and I sell a 200-page ebook for €4.99 on Amazon. How many hours did I spend writing this novel in my Rodiwana saga? And how many people won't read it because it's more expensive than a €0.99 ebook? The new issue of Die Zeit (second week of May 2

Between Dream and Reality
Short story I had no idea where she came from. She was simply there, seated beneath the great oak that ruled our garden. She seemed caught between childhood and adulthood, perhaps fourteen at most. Her face was soft and round, her eyes a shifting green‑blue, alert and trembling like those of a startled animal. When I spoke, she flinched. Her hands flew up to shield her face, then slowly lowered again. “Hey,” I asked gently, “what are you doing here? Did you lose your way?” Sh

Under the surface
Winter Under the surface Earlier I wanted to dive beneath the folds of the pavement and search for what was essential under the surfaces, much more I wanted to forget myself and the moment, mostly in the rain, mostly before exams, mostly in separations, often on the bicycle and always at night on foot – then it pulled me so deeply inward and downward… into nothingness, toward nothingness, toward the longed-for emptiness of thought! Yet my thoughts were acrobats dancing around

Nests
Thoughts on nests Nests Seagulls at the harbor on the Baltic Sea, on the North Sea Seagulls that you must not feed Seagulls that take everything from people's garbage or directly from the fish sandwich in hand skillfully in a dive Seagulls, indeed. I saw her during a festival. At the harbor, she heard wailing and screeching. we moved on they continued to complain back at the harbor suddenly quiet But in the old town they are screaming in every alley, every morning now nothing
