on my way home yesterday

I searched
"Nichtarier werden gebeten, die Kirche zu verlassen."
these things
Went to church this morning

Unbekannte Pfade,
a final year
You are near me

yesterday I was late for church... as always
Mommy's not coming home tonight

Abandoning my former paths
as I'm strolling along the sidewalks
faceless corners of the old city
Mommy, why does the flower grow?

Dear God,
I loved you
time to worship

    It took me..

    a bit of time to research the translation...if only I had looked in the authors notes.
    German is a lovely language and the poem is very thought provoking on different levels. Well written and an enjoyable read.
