Eva Beylich Poems

Expectant outlooks
into the New Year.
Resolutions.
The first one rises into the sky -
...

Every day I leave a picture
that others paint of me
at the place of the deed.
There it turns cheerful - without me.
...

Autumn is still too young
to find itself in a leaf.
It trains in the wind
and let's the rain fall.
...

Endless seems the time
of the sundial on the
hot, delapidated wall.
The lizard lies lazily
...

There were times
when people didn't know yet
that overripe, bad grapes
yield an especially fine wine.
...

Wafts of mist draft as
soft-focus lenses of
time over the hot spring.
Bulging bodies wallow
...

Blank sheet of birth
lies on glass, blackened,
ready for imprint.
Each pressure leaves
...

Sand trickles through your glass years.
Rough nights and days are gone in pain.
Don't spill, don't waste a grain.
Keep dry your secret hoard of tears.
...

Power to Probe

Some bonds seem broken
no longer solidly connected
...
