TODTNAUBERG

after Paul Celan

Arnica, hold-in-trust, tear

Trump out dim Bruise admit dim

Stern waffled drought,

indigo

Hut,

die in that Bush

—lesson Naming nouns off

where dim mines men—

die in die’s book

gust’s ribbons fail one

I’m an huff-none, hurt

Oaf I’m a dunken den

commends

Wart

in heart’s end

World-wizened, uneyed and bent

Arc is un-arc is, eye’s realm,

Crude, spatter in führer

Deutsche light,

Tears a fog, dear Mensch,

dares admit abort

die halved

beschmuddled Cudgel

fade in Hock’s moor

Folded,

veil.
