Marcel Beyer

Narva, bright as day

The languages are strange to me, I’m like someone
wearing carpet-slippers: but there

I am. Polymers, fur trim
and insoles: all things are near to me.

Narva, taghell

Narva, taghell

Die Sprachen sind mir fremd, als würde
ich Pantoffeln tragen: aber ich

bin da. Kunstfaser, Pelzbesatz und
Einlegsohlen: alle Dinge sind mir nah.

Narva, bright as day

The languages are strange to me, I’m like someone

I am. Polymers, fur trim
