Pierre Rausch Poems

This is how they got away with it
Again and again
Words are used to describe a behavior
Again and again
...

She held his hand as they walked through the port
She leaned to kiss him on the head
And even after she placed her hands on his
That was the perfect thing to do
...

Shall I confess something on the card
I would like to see you sometime soon
Like the eyes of crazy people
That was heavy and grave
...

To see her comfortably through the next weeks
About anything - everything - effortless
And how it had felt natural
To know it is she who sings so well
...

That she saw her daily, alive and well
Sing sometimes in a faraway voice
Having made it to the dancefloor
Calling out the first thing that came to mind
...

Her entire body trembled with nerves
I came to a recital of yours once
Well, it was a long time ago
Her entire body trembled with nerves
...

If you're willing to play it for me
And look at it in amazement
A coat of persuasion, a matter of convenience
Of white-blonde hair fallen to the shoulders
...

Circus Psycho Clown stalks in the dark
No woman to bait a spark
Women are people on an ark
Circus Psycho Clown stalks in the dark
...

She remained where she was
Careful not to move too quickly
Her pleasure and her dignity
But something else beside
...

The unusually warm weather
That it was her future they were discussing
And what it meant to her
Carrying a large wicker basket under the arms
...
