Mikael Ejdemyr - nightmare in Cologne (characters # 1)

in memory of Rolf Dieter Brinkmann


The baby sitter dozes off
but wakes with a start from a dreadful dream


he didn't see any female legs ashore


no legs to part
no tender wombs to penetrate
merely attractive round hips
of mermaids

Mikael Ejdemyr
