Kann keine Worte aber nun viele finden....Ein Moment dem Schweigen und der bedingten Hoffnung geschenkt....als ich das jetzt sah und mein Verstand zu den Treppen schwingt und mein Verlangen den Körper von Imre beherrschen will! Ein Janus, ein scheiternder Clown auf dem Wege der Zuversicht....ein Moment dem Dasein geschenkt......!
