Claudia Lapp (1946-2026)
Honey, and horses,
and bright days
rich in sunflowers.
The ecstatic
joys of youth.
Where do we go now,
no longer earthbound?
Out into the universe?
All of my realizations
always come slow.
But I’ll see you now:
in the twinkling of stars,
in undefinable moments,
in the half-mad river of crazy dreams.
