We, too, make noises when we laugh or weep,
Words are for those with promises to keep.

Add and Remove

Win Hausfrau

Woman is double exposured as long as she is captured as two drains, Laundry in the wind.

Pretend as if You were but some frozen laundry in the wind, see who punts first.

Become the silky scarf You once wore, rase upp the sails
to the real borders of your inner rurality.

Pass the burning signature on the sailor´s anchor:
Travelogs of promised widowhood –
for the chosen portraitist of interest –
wilderness of cruelty beyond solitarity.

Give my love to the man-of-war,
seen it all, still not gained a one single virtue.  Please fill now in the virtues of humiliation.

The sea we won´t share, sister, is all Yours,
a stolen ring, another mantle of manslaughter.
