keep your head in the skies, blue angel

merry christmas teddy!

begierde wecken,
muß die schau im fenster;
die eine findet endlich etwas neues,
dem anderen wirds zu wohl dabei.

nachbars teddy,
ists nur recht im spiegelbild;
fröhlich sitzt er mittendrin,
statt nur dabei. 

auspicium autumnalis

schwarzer vogel,
surfer zwischen den welten,
kündest laut vom morgen,
und sprichst doch in rätseln.

sic transit gloria mundi

heaven is wide still

and bright over the smoothly curved arena.

but the games have moved on

and so has the spirit.

a single tear is pending
about to fall out of the fragile sky
having seen too much
destruction

is this the track of Lasse Virén,
of Walerij Borsow and Heide Rosendahl?
or is it to witness the corruptness
of what used to be the olympics.
