24 Windows: Failing and Flying

 #12: Failing and Flying von Jack Gilbert

Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It's the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.

I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph.

#11: Spring & Asura von Kenji Miyazawa

Der Igel hat rein gar nichts mit dem Inhalt zu tun, aber ich hatte bock was mit Blättern zu basteln und Igel sind cute, so here we are.

24 Windows: Mercy

#10: Mercy von Rudy Francisco (nach Nikki Giovanni)

She asks me to kill the spider.
Instead, I get the most
peaceful weapons I can find.

I take a cup and a napkin.
I catch the spider, put it outside
and allow it to walk away.

If I am ever caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time, just being alive
and not bothering anyone,

I hope I am greeted
with the same kind
of mercy.
