From Gerhard Meier's Das Gras grünt
Schlaflos
Die Zeit schlägt Stunden
in das Blei der
Nächte
Und auf dem Grunde
liegen sie in
Steinkorallen
Uhren um die
Handgelenke
Schlaflos horchend
ihrer Zeit
die Stunden schlägt
ins Blei der Nächte
Und Schwärme roter
Unruh zucken durch
Korallen
My translation:
Sleepless
Time strikes hours
into the lead of the
nights
And on the bottom
they lie in
stone coral
watches 'round their
wrists
Sleepless listening
to their time
strikes the hours
into the lead of the nights
And swarms of red
unrest convulse through
coral
