by chance

footnotes from a strolling life

Johannes Eber

Afternoon on the Balcony

How does it feel
the sun from the right
the shadow on the left
the warmth on my skin
no need to reset?

How did I come
to that ambiguous point
with all the words in my brain
fingers putting them down
gains vanished by rain?

Why do I still search
for what this is all for? –
Put the pen aside
watch the sun go down
feel this is alright.
