Inhalt
I know of a pond in a small corner of the world, and you, my koi, are in that pond. My koi, for we have tamed one another.
When nothing can keep me at my desk any longer, the pond becomes my desk. On it I spread out what is scarcely bearable. and you, the Koi, sweep through it, slashing, slashing, slashing.
I sit beside your pond like a beggar beside his cup. The birds cast their shadows into it and the clouds their reflection. As it passes overhead, the sun gives most generously, and you koi multiply what it gives.
But I only beg from myself, counting out what I can give.

Pressestimmen
"Das Buch ist Porträt einer Friedfertigkeit, die menschlicher Anmaßung, Krone zu sein, die Grenzen weist. Der Dichter ist in diesem Buch farbtupfengetreu, leise, lächelnd, erfüllt." Neues Deutschland, 9. 10. 02
