Tränen

Leicht gedrungene Röte im Gesicht

Alkohol, der durch warme Wangen spricht

Kleinste Tränen - so schwer im Gewicht,

dass selbst der kalte Boden unter ihrem 

Aufprall bricht.

Is there a word you hate?

Yes, there is one word that I hate. It is the German term "Nutztier" (Eng. livestock/farm animal), which, if translated word for word, would be "utility animal".

I find it to be a troubling term, for like nearly all words, it evokes associations and imagery in the minds of people, in this case, the notion that there are animals solely brought into existence to serve the needs of humans. And this notion, deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness, serves to justify unspeakable cruelties inflicted upon these animals, who have essentially committed no offense, but to be of use to humankind.

To be born into a life of servitude simply because one is deemed useful to another by virtue of innate traits. A cruel and man-made fate, which is unfortunately still accepted in the midst of our society.

I don't want to get into the negativity of the rest of the asks, so let me ask you this: has there been something positive for you lately? Something that made you happy?

Thank you for your ask.

Happy would probably be an exaggeration, but I was satisfied with my progress for a few brief moments. An injury of mine has healed, so I was able to improve on some exercises and set some new personal records as a result.

In addition, I was able to achieve a little side-goal of mine, which has to do with grip strength training (squeezing a gripper with 200lbs (90kg) resistance). My final goal regarding grip strength is to someday be able to close the "Captains of Crush No. 3", which sits at 280lb resistance.

Not sure if I'm able to do that since I don't focus on grip strength primarly and it is just the result of working out and other training.

Do you have favorite and hate exercises? If so what are those?

My favorite exercise is rowing, regardless of the variation. If I had to choose one, I would go with seals or bend over rows. I don't really have a hate exercise, but I'm not too fond of direct arm exercises and if I had to choose, it would probably be the classic bicep curl.

Kugelmensch

Four arms, four legs

and a head with two faces.

We wanted too much

endagered those in high places.

So they tore us apart

in fear of our power;

been searching for you

since this very hour.

Echoing your name

in every new thought;

to feel you once more

was what my heart sought.

And you found me again

which made me feel whole;

and freed all those things

I still can't control.

Our time was cut short

I know love is blind;

but I still can't believe

that you left me behind.

„Nachtfalter“ v. Max Dauthendey.

Wie ermüdend ist doch des Tages Angesicht. So nichtssagend, gehaltlos, repetitiv; Ein Ausbruch scheint nicht möglich. Einzig der Himmel, der die ganze Welt bespannt, zeigt kleinste Neigungen des Wandels, doch auch sie verlernte ich zu spüren. Was bleibt ist eine farblose Welt in welcher Gefühle nicht mehr als Nuancen, nur marginalste Abweichungen eines trostlosen Grautons, darstellen.

Wie lange schreibst du schon Gedichte beziehungsweise wie lange schreibst du schon auf Tumblr?

Seit etwa 10 Jahren.

Mein Blog auf Tumblr existiert seit dem 08.02.2020, also in etwa so lange bin ich auch auf Tumblr aktiv und teile hin und wieder Gedichte.

I MISS YOU or I LOVE YOU, if you have to tell someone to make an impact, between this two what will you choose to say?

Hard to say, but I would lean towards "I love you" because the word "love" holds a high value for me. If I had more options, I would say "Pass auf dich auf" (which translates to "Take care of yourself"), because here the emphasis on the I is removed and the complete attention is on the other person.
