Ausländer, Rose: In Memoriam Paul Celan (In Memoriam Paul Celan in English)

Portre of Ausländer, Rose

In Memoriam Paul Celan (German)

 „Meine blonde Mutter kam nicht heim“

 Paul Celan – Espenbaum

 

Kam nicht heim

die Mutter

 

nie aufgegeben

den Tod

 

vom Sohn genährt

mit Schwarzmilch

 

die hielt ihn am Leben

das ertrank

im Tintenblut

 

Zwischen verschwiegenen Zeilen

das Nichtwort

im Leerraum

leuchtend

In Memoriam Paul Celan (English)

„My blond mother didn`t come home“

Paul Celan

 

Didn`t come home

mother

 

never gave up

death

 

nourished by her son

with black milk

 

which preserved his life

that drowned

in ink blood

 

Between silent lines

the unspoken word

in empty space

luminescent
