Freie Verse

Free Verses:

Last night I awoke knew

That I should say goodbye now

To these verses. That's how it always goes

After a few years. They have to get out

Into the world. It's not possible to keep them

Forever! here under the roof.

Poor things. They must set out for town.

A few will be allowed to return later.

But most of them are still hanging around out there.

Who knows what will become of them. Before they

Find their peace.
