Krimigedicht –von Willie Colon

Vigilante A veces la moral y la ley no están de acuerdo, y son estos momentos que pueden hacer de un delincuente un hombre derecho, la casa, los niños, la familia, las amistades, la tranquilidad. Hay veces cuando hay que defenderlas, hay tiempo pa quejarse, hay tiempo pa peliar. La calle esta desierta, la noche ya no es nuestra, todos tiemblan al oscurecer, caramba yo prefiero que me juzguen doce a que me entierren seis. Hay que estar vigilante Coro: Vigilante…… Quiero ser vigilante Coro: Vigilante….. No salgas solo estaRead More

Krimigedicht von Frank Wedekind

Der Tantenmörder Ich hab meine Tante geschlachtet,Meine Tante war alt und schwach;Ich hatte bei ihr übernachtetUnd grub in den Kisten-Kasten nach. Da fand ich goldene Haufen,Fand auch an Papieren gar vielUnd hörte die alte Tante schnaufenOhn Mitleid und Zartgefühl. Was nutzt es, daß sie sich noch härme –Nacht war es rings um mich her –Ich stieß ihr den Dolch in die Därme,Die Tante schnaufte nicht mehr. Das Geld war schwer zu tragen,Viel schwerer die Tante noch.Ich faßte sie bebend am KragenUnd stieß sie ins tiefe Kellerloch. – Ich hab meineRead More

Pedro Navaja OkOne two, one two, three, uh Por la esquina del viejo barrio lo vi pasarCon el tumba’o que tienen los guapos al caminarLas manos siempre en los bolsillos de su gabánPa‘ que no sepan en cuál de ellas lleva el puñalUsa un sombrero de ala ancha de medio la’oY zapatillas por si hay problema salir vola’oLentes oscuros pa‘ que no sepan qué está mirandoY un diente de oro que cuando ríe se ve brillandoComo a tres cuadras de aquella esquina, una mujerVa recorriendo la acera entera por quintaRead More

Krimigedicht von Robin Robertson

Der schottische Poet Robin Robertson legt gerade bei Hanser ein fulminantes Buch vor: „Wie man langsam verliert“ – hier in dieser Ausgabe besprochen von Alf Mayer. Hier ein Gedicht von ihm. Die Schrecken des Jahrmarkts. 1951 (excerpt) Summer was closing, and he moved through the last of it,finding a park with fairground musiccoming from somewhere behind the trees.Walking round, he understood that the funfairis nothing to do with cork-shoots or coconut shies,the carousel, the booster or the bumper rides,not balloons-and-darts, not the cotton-candy,ice-cream, salt water taffy or fries—it’s fear,it’s theRead More

Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for meIt won’t do no good to call The police always come late If they come at all  And when they arrive They say they can’t interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said „I’m here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse IRead More

Krimigedicht von Theobald Tiger

Spanische Krankheit? Was schleicht durch alle kriegführenden Länder?Welches Ding schleift die infizierten Gewändervom Schützengraben zur Residenz?Wer hat es gesehn? Wer nennts? Wer erkennts?Schmerzen im Hals, Schmerzen im Ohr –die Sache kommt mir spanisch vor. Aber wenn ichs genau betrachteund hübsch auf alle Symptome achte,bemerke ich es mit einem Mal:das ist nicht international.Und seh ich das ganze Krankenkorps:kommts mir gar nicht mehr spanisch vor. Ein bißchen Gefieber, ein bißchen Beschwerden,Onkel Doktor sagt: »Morgen wirds besser werden!«Nachts im Dunkel Transpirieren,Herzangst, Schwindel und Phantasieren,mittags Erhitzen, abends Erkalten,morgen ist alles wieder beim Alten –DasRead More
