A newspaper blackout by Yvonne Lason:
In German:
Die Geschichte der Liebe
Die Liebe der Väter
Der Vater winterlich unsichtbar
Sphären der Vergangenheit
In English:
The history of love
The love of fathers
The father winterly invisible
Spheres of the past
Yvonne Lason’s wild blackout poems
German:
Räuberisches Herz
Dem sich niemand entziehen kann
Gut ist, was gefällt
Bedauern sollte man auf keinen Fall
Der Preis ist herzerschütternd
Alben versuchen die Zeit zu konservieren
English:
Predatory heart
Nobody can deprive of Everything you enjoy is good
Never should you regret
The price is heart-rending
Albums try to conserve time
Newspaper + marker = blackout poetry.
