  BRANDENBURG

I am
a fortress of fire
passion in my bones
bleeds into my being
and transcends
moment by moment
so hot sometimes
it melts iron.

I am
a fortress of fire
my smoke ascends
above a solitary mountain
in Prussia
for 800 years.

It is
my heritage
that flames
my poetry
today.

 

*translated, Brand = fire and Burg = fortress
