Ein Baum [English translation]

I don't cut my hair any more

I listen for leaves sprouting from me,

The forest plants wood into my heart

I stretch my arms skywards

to stay here forever

The nails sink themselves

into the realm of Mother Earth

Already my skin bends and breaks

I have digested a lot of sand and stones

that I have become tired

A tree with beetles in my face

with moss in my hair

My skin as hard as stone

The wind flows through my fingers

Was it yesterday? Was it today?

All winter long I do not wake

A woodpecker knocks on my skullcap

and hopes for rich spoils

My head becomes green, the summer comes

with drops of dew and rain

A tremor goes through my trunk

I hear them already, they're coming

the men with the saws

A tree with beetles in my face

with moss in my hair

My skin as hard as stone
