ones - who have encouraged and supported me, especially my parents, Chrisl my
alter voice, Bernd for being a midwife, my dear sisters in Mary churches valley
including Andres and my mmh beloved one. M.

well she came by to see me
did not knock on the door
she just entere d and did smile
and I was sure that she felt
bout the state I was in
to be honest I couldn ’t even care
I made mysel f taller that I am
choos e the sharpe st look
and did remar k in a bitter way
where have you been
all of my days and all of these years
out
what have you done you did miss me
you did stay concea led
she was lookin g at me
in a smoot h charm ing way
and did say Dear I under stand
I would have knock ed on your door
but you know you weren ’t there
weren ’t at home with all that you are
I made mysel f as small as I could be shoute d at her
felt the deepes t ache I ever felt and
where have you been
all of my days and all of these yearsme out
and what have you done you did miss
you did stay concea led
hence she did take my hand
said I did send you someo ne
she was with you and still she is here
becam e close
and you did let her in and you both
but today I got to see you cause
I want to remind you
your door
that I will come back I´ll knock on
me back
it´s okay to be fearfu l that won´t hold
out

and how is it to touch you
and how do you feel
I´m not sure if you´re real or a dummy
and how, how is your surfac e
is it smoot h or raw
like a forsak en law
never observ ed
and how, how is your volum e
the tune of your sound
is it quiet or loud or in betwe en
and when, when will you call me
call me to you
will that ever be true
or not
yap tap…
what, what do you taste of
is it spring or fall
or like lickin g a wall- paper glue
and how, how is your heartb eat
the trend of your pulse
does it ever throb false or impart ial
and why, why can´t I call you
call you to me
I´m longin g to see if you are real
