Sheli (Sarira)
SURVEYOR

his right arm was entirely
stuck in the Gobi
like a root of a tree

when the search team reached
his desiccated body
they heard very clearly
tick-tock, tick-tock
his watch
down below

Tr. MW, September 2016

Sheli (Sarira)
FELDMESSER

sein rechter arm war ganz
fest verwurzelt
tief in der gobi

als der suchtrupp
seinen ausgetrockneten körper erreichte
war etwas ganz deutlich zu hören
tick-tack, tick-tack
aus der vergrabenen
armbanduhr
