The Beginning of the Storm by Frank Joussen

A young woman kept on

the leash by two big white dogs

seems to sail past my window

dogs, leash, the whole ensemble,

Mary-Poppins-like.

The whirled up leaves

seem to fall up into the sky

which seems to have gathered

from the hot summer ground

all of the past weeks´ dust

that is now swirling

in high heaven

while the ground

is quickly gaining

a black stained innocence.
