From the cycle "Is hope the sister of fear"
Based on the poetry of Franka Lechner and music by Rainer Bischof
 
imperceptibly
into the soul
clotted
fear
the clock
sings time
the children's rattle
laughs
in the memory
prays
a mill
for you
grinds the dreams
to flour
star bread
means
our hope
for the next
day

poetry by franka lechner
