about

Night. May 1945. A riverboat from Tolkemit. You and many others. Lying on a pile of coal. You didn´t know it then, but you were not subdued by Soviet machine gun fire from the sky, you were not done in by torpedoes - and you escaped being turned into an internee by the Soviets. But not so your friend that you parted from the day before at the Hela peninsula: years later his mother received the news of his too early death.

You did come to us, with virtually everything else that could have happened. And we are here now. Worried and relieved at the same time. Gazing up towards the night sky. We can hear the brackish Baltic Sea waters split against the bow. Unknowledgable. Did you see the stars? An inexorably, merciless suction from within the future made you survive. The night wind as fate in your far too young face. My children. And yours. What would have happened if you didn´t? You were only nineteen?
