Poem
Marcel Beyer
Narva, bright as day
The languages are strange to me, I’m like someonewearing 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 würdeich Pantoffeln tragen: aber ich
bin da. Kunstfaser, Pelzbesatz und
Einlegsohlen: alle Dinge sind mir nah.
