Anita Berber: Kokain

Kokain

Wände
Tisch
Schatten und Katzen
Grüne Augen
Viele Augen
Millionenfache Augen
Das Weib
Nervöses zerflatterndes Begehren
Aufflackerndes Leben
Schwälende Lampe
Tanzender Schatten
Kleiner Schatten
Großer Schatten
Der Schatten
Oh – der Sprung über den Schatten
Er quält dieser Schatten
Er martert dieser Schatten
Er frißt mich dieser Schatten
Was will dieser Schatten
Kokain

Aufschrei
Tiere
Blut
Alkohol
Schmerzen
Viele Schmerzen
Und die Augen
Die Tiere
Die Mäuse
Das Licht
Dieser Schatten
Dieser schrecklich große schwarze Schatten.

Anita Berber

Anita Berber & Sebastian Droste: 2 Gedichte

A n i t a   B e r b e r

Gedicht für Sebastian Droste

 

I c h

Wachs schimmerndes Wachs

Ein Kopf – ein Brokatmantel

Wachs –

Rot – wie Kupfer so rot und lebende Haare

Funkelnde Haare wie heilige Schlangen und Flammen

Tot

Millionenmal tot

Verwest

Und schön – so schön

Blut wie fliessendes Blut

Ein Mund stumm

Nacht ohne Sterne und Mond

Die Lider – so schwer

Schnee wie kalter wärmende Schnee

Ein Hals – und fünf Finger wie Blut

Wachs wie Kerzen

Ein Opfer von ihm


S e b a s t i a n   D r o s t e

Gedicht für Anita Berber

 

Tanz Anita zu eigen

Aufwirbelndes jauchzendes Begehren

Sprung – – –

Webenden Wellen

Weichwelle Wogen

Kreist kreist unendliche Kreise – – –

Verlangendes Weben schwebt wellwoges Wogen

Auf einsamen Thronen thront der Gott – –

Sturzwelles spitzes grelles Begehren

Kreisgelles gelbgrünes Belachen

Zerkreisen zerwellen zerwogen zerhauchen

Springpflanzartiges Zerblättern

Beschwingen

Besingen

Klang –

Aufjublendes Zerfliessen

Zergreifen

Zerweben – –

Tanz – – –

Anita Berber Gedicht: Orchideen

ANITA BERBER

(1899-1928)

 

O r c h i d e e n

 

Ich kam in einen Garten

Der Garten war voll von Orchideen

So voll so voll und schwer

Es blühte und lebte und bebte

Ich kam nicht durch die süßen Verschlingungen

Ich liebe sie so wahnsinnig

Für mich sind sie wie Frauen und Knaben –

Ich küsste und koste jede bis zum Schluss

Alle alle starben an meinen roten Lippen

an meinen Händen

an meiner Geschlechtslosigkeit

Die doch alle Geschlechter in sich hat

Ich bin blass wie Mondsilber
