Celsius [English translation]

So close lies sleep

under all the cool covers

swept and hidden in blankets

plastic, nylon, cellophane

My mouth at the thermometer

cheating me, fever-weak

and it feels as if

I have left something behind

I drop my clothes

I drop my temperature

degree by degree

Now my hands shake

worse every day

like caesium and oxygen

I burn completely bright

and it feels as if

I have left something behind

She is awake

I know that she is awake

I am awake

She knows that I am awake

We are awake

Yes it is clear that we

have only just awoken

and are waiting

So close the smell feels

Now I can relax

and outside on the stairs

The frost makes you lose grip

It has reached October

Now the grass freezes and breaks

and I hate everything

that bends and breaks

She is awake

I know that she is awake

I am awake

She knows that I am awake

We are awake

Yes it is clear that we

have only just awoken

and are waiting

What if I am wrong

I could be wrong...
