Der Garten Eden (the garden Eden)

★★★★ · My response is a poem · J Lehmus · 2006-03-06

After watching Mommartz's film I had some more of wine Contemplating the pretty solid circle it describes In a landscape crossed with tractor trails and canals. And with the atlas laid open across the kitchen table the snowfall appears slightly different. And the day has Silence written all over it and invites questions Remembering the unknown churches and factory buildings, the alcohol and the song, the winter and the wretched fish, the old age The language that almost entirely escapes me, I, at least I hope, my dreams dreams tonight will be of Eden
