Gedicht, Englisch, nicht veröffentlicht
Dieses kurze Gedicht über das Ende der Liebe, beschreibt eine Liebesnacht in Worten, die an die Göttin Fortuna denken lassen, aber auch an ein zu schnell verspeistes Mahl erinnern.
Word-fore-play – Recipe for Love
no thyme
though there was no thyme
it was mint to be
to be quite candied
in no thyme
I knew
no thyme to rue
you took my caraway
berry my sorrel
you scent the spirits
reigned on my dessert
cherry the memory
a floury dill
pump
pump it
pumpkin
got a cress on you
improvise, jam the beet
root with me
we got curried away
a hot date
fig-uratively speaking
we made a meal of it
the chips are down
at the sauce
at the kernel
I pine for you
roll me over
liquorice
suck ice
skimmed milk skin
pour pawpaw
your tears treacle
a salt on the senses
Tanya Ury, September 1995
Mid Summer
When we were done
I held your ghost
inmost
cupped in my chest
suspending awareness,
before breathing out,
in case of doubt.
But it had gone to our heads
the smoky tokes
and self-centred liqueurs,
melancholy alcohol,
exhaled in mist
its meaning twisted.
Although it had been a generous repost
we had made no provisions for this,
losing our heads in the bed we made
lying among blanquettes of dead meat now.
I baste your brow with crushed lips,
You brush away bits of bruised fruit.
What had been a mouthful
Med red,
and pink rosé,
like spilt ink
tells it all retrospectively:
red blood and piss gold,
a show down on shared sheets.
No mèdallions for our pillow talk;
grilled sentences
skewered by silence
and the rapid exchange of fire and fluids.
Love was game
a rare bite of breast
and horn of plenty
saving face,
baked blind,
gorged, without grace or good fortune.
What went down well
on the Sabbath
has an uncertain aftertaste;
common sense has desserted
on Sunday -
Monday, mourning.
