Kunze Heinz Rudolf
State of emergency
The call
We hear that it's ringing
at the very back of our brain
but we don't answer
we don't pick up
/>we just frown
We hear that someone
wants to speak to us urgently
we suspect who it is
we turn off the light
and remain very quiet
We know his question
it burns from pole to pole
we also know the answer
it's on the tip of our tongue
and we feel quite comfortable with it
>Whoever is calling
he rings with patience
the lips turn pale
and someone slips out:
Forgive us our sins
We are cold and sweating with fear
/>runs over our forehead
we don't have a handkerchief now
we listened for the ringing
at the very back of our brain
We hear that it is ringing
at the very back of our brain< br/>But we don't answer
We don't pick up
We just frown
