Fall of Man:

Yeah where, somewhere
in our homeland.
There was a waterfall—,
and advice,
as he was gone.
from that place
and looked up,
as he was “on.”

Translated by Gary Sullivan.

Der Sündenfall:

Ja wo, irgendwo
in unserer Heimat.
Da war ein Wasserfall—,
und rat,
da war er fort.
aus jenem Ort
und sah hinauf,
da war er Drauf.
