tracing what happened to my grandfather
Maximilian

I am curious, I am persistant
I wonder how it will turn out
I hear the echos of gunfire long silenced
I see the mist lifting over the fallen
I want to know what happened
I am curious, I am persistant

I pretend to walk his path that day
I feel the cold burja on my face
I touch the broken limbs of trees in his path
I smell the sap
I worry for his safety
I cry because I never knew him
I am curious, I am persistant

I understand conflict
I say that it can be resolved
I dream of understnding between people, brothers, family
I try to be open minded
I am curious, I am persistant
