We’re outside now.
Outside there was always the wind,
But we didn’t know then
sometimes you have to leave —
leave to remain.
We fled across an ocean
then over a sea —
what was I looking for,
chasing security.
Don’t want to return,
but will someone someday
find me somewhere in between
imaginary homelands?
I saw a reflection —
yes, yes that was she —
Speaking like an actor
playing a scene
in half-remembered countries
and cities,
outside.
Outside,
there was always the wind,
but no rain got in
our little Frankfurt kitchen.
