Erich Fried
this site contains the german originals
& my own translations
i hope despite of my incomplete english
you get the confusing depth
of Erich Fried's verses

ashes

reckless artistic nature

learning process

anxiety and doubt

earn and bear

constructive self criticism

speechless

preservation of materia

strange child

liberation from the big idols

need knows no commandment

of the inner freedom

abandoned room

a collector

  a collector

my findings
but they will them again
disperse into all four winds
when i will be dead

old gadgets
fossilized plants & animals
colorful postcards books
broken dolls

all words too
which i have found
my incomplete
my insatiated words



Ein Sammler

Meine Funde
Aber sie werden sie wieder
zerstreuen in alle vier Winde
wenn ich erst tot bin

Alte Geräte
versteinerte Pflanzen und Tiere
bunte Postkarten Bücher
zerbrochene Puppen

Auch alle Worte
die ich gefunden habe
meine unvollständigen
meine ungesättigten Worte
