moving day

Simone K. Busch
Ralf Bröker

through bare branches
a blackbird keeps singing
moving day


new ringtone – Schubert's
shepherd on the rock


woolen jumper
away into his wardrobe
old habits


cedar block's scent
whisking matcha


blue night
in a nursing home
harvest moon


out with my dog
now the torch gives out


***

falling rye
drowned by
John Deere


after the phone call
dough punching


parents’ evening
a slip of paper asks
yes – no – perhaps


split up
a pomegranate


airlines on strike
two men miss
their parade


along gingko alley
a Japanese tune


after-show-party
she talks about controlling
ovulation


i throw a shadow
and watch it creep


best in class
again mates name him
pussyfooter


evening hike
for scream therapy


vine-blossom
tourists taste
local beer


as the glacier calves
my neighbor groans


***

soldiers
at the entrance door
balmy wind


weed hides concrete plates
from 1944


anniversary
the old ones so close
via Skype


Easter walk with
daughter's first friend


snow dances
under streetlights
last unicorn


a Hummer starts carefully
on black ice


roaring fire
in the mountain hut
spirits rise


having drunk her coffee
she takes an aspirin and leaves


Willkomm-Hoeft
a rainmaker
becomes homesick


date at court
ducks observe ducklings


roundabout
next exit
maple moon


amongst wet leaves
parts of lottery tickets


***

misty morning
in my mind's eye
Joy Division


Wendnesday demonstration
aged woman's voices persist


sound truck
after sound truck better times
better times


sunshine dribbles
from Buddha’s nose


pink carpet
under this cherry tree
texting her


soft peal of bells
a brimstone butterfly takes off
