Weißes Album
Vom Zaudern und Zupfen
an welken Blättern
die Enden knipsen
Der Spinne Faden
fällt vom Licht, schwingt
die lockere Faust
Im weißen Album
ein Blatt sich wellt
rollt ein die Enden
White Album
Of hesitation and plucking
on faded paper
snapping the ends
The spider’s thread
tumbles in light, swings
a slack fist
In the white album
a paper curls
it furls the ends
