Van Zieks’ Todesfuge
Holy cups of mornings we drink you at night
we drink you at midday death is a Master from Japan
a man lives in the house your pink hair St.Maria
he whistles his hounds he grants us graves in the sky
he plays with his ruby and he dreams death is a Master from JAPAN
your pink hair Maria
your ashen hair Baroque
adapted from Todesfuge by Paul Celan
Extra notes:kick there to read the original poem
Todesfuge is a famous Germen poem about Holocaust. The lines above has nothing to deal with it's original meaning. I borrow the rhythmic part in this poem and I adapted the whole poem in my mother tongue language[so if I got time to translate you can se it directly] It may seem disrespectful in some way,But I do not mean compare THE Professor case to the Holocaust.Apologize!
