I Step Outside Myself
- by Ingeborg Bachmann 60
I step outsidemyself, out of my eyes,
hands, mouth, outside
of myself I
step, a bundle
of goodness and godliness
that must make good
this devilry
that has happened.
In The Storm Of Roses
- by Ingeborg Bachmann 56
Wherever we turn in the storm of roses,the night is lit up by thorns, and the thunder
of leaves, once so quiet within the bushes,
rumbling at our heels.
