Poem Beethoven

23 January 2026 | Volker Sielaff (Dresden)

Ich muss heute unbedingt ein neues, noch nie veröffentlichtes, Gedicht zu Beethoven in unser gemeinsames Tagebuch schreiben.

Poem Beethoven

He hears with his eyes
a piano trio
by Beethoven; he sees
with his ears
the bright rose leaf
in the garden.

This and no other way
is how one becomes familiar
with appearances.

This and no other way
he always touches anew
the emptiness between
two points.
