back to Bertolt Brecht

“Parting” by Bertolt Brecht 🇩🇪 (10 Feb 189814 Aug 1956)
Translated from the German
We embrace.
Rich cloth under my fingers
While yours touch poor fabric.
A quick embrace
You were invited for dinner
While the minions of law are after me.
We talk about the weather and our
Lasting friendship. Anything else
Would be too bitter.
