Herbert Nehrlich Poems

I follow you,
where will you go,
love made me blind
and gave me feet
...

We are hoping for fog
and a moonless night.
Approaching the border to
the West and its freedom,
...

Yes, I am flattered,
but not enough
to spare you, little shit,
a roach of any
...

The joint chiefs had
in their undoubted wisdom
declared that war was
well...imminent, and now.
...

Well they do come in droves
from the coldness of Britain
they abandon their stoves
with Down Under they're smitten.
...

It now is time.
I'll have to tell the world.
And never did I ever
mean to do this.
...

And in my dream I was
just halfway up the Holy Mountain
of homesickness called Heidelberg.
I had just crossed the Neckar river
...

A cactus, lonely in his pot
up on the sunny windowsill,
they watered him but he was not
a happy guy. Without the thrill
...

The new position was not advertised,
however, knowing me you would have,
by now, guessed that I applied. I did.
It was for Monarch, Ruler, Emperor,
...

Her name was oxygen, short form O-2
she was just floating there, above the lake
when something thin and wearing just one shoe
by name of hydrogen, a common flake
...
