Nature morte
(1999)
Part of a series or song cycle:
Ende der Handschrift, 11 späte Gedichte von Heiner Müller
Nature morte
der mond war noch nicht aufgegangen
drei sollten ihn nicht mehr sehn
als ihre leiber in den ästen schwangen
stand er über den bergen schön
Nature Morte
The moon had not yet risen
Three would not see it again
When their bodies dangled from the branches
It shone brightly over the mountains
