THE VERY FIRST TIME
Solo-Sequence

-

-

the Fall of the Berlin Wall – for hours mother speaks no word

-

-

to holding on, from now
the freedom

-

-

and quizzical looks
across the kitchen table

-

-

... a quiet song at the bedside
of our little son,

-

-

his smile wipes
my tears            away

-

-

two weeks later: I see my father for the very first time
