The forsythia humming above the Poem by Brigitte Oleschinski

The forsythia humming above the



foreign trade-hives, blinking like black and yellow digits
ready for take off, until here at the rough outer wall, heads hanging

among the endless coats of plaster, in the middle of March, these freezing
waists curl up:

Where do you come from?
Your passport is not guilty -

translated by Karen Leeder, 1999
