all he wished

all he wished
was to be buried in the sand
from where he came
nobody even had seen the sea

and when he lived
he had a house but had no dog
and he read books
about big cities and the sea

he dreamed of dreaming
while sitting on his balcony
a glass of wine
and also one for me

but when he died
he wasn’t buried in the sand
when he died
he was not buried in the sand
wasn’t buried in .. berlin
