Kintsukuroi

Anna Job, Lara Wüster

Standing in a circle we close our eyes 

breathe in 

and out 

feel Textures 

our bodies 

Women 

let bristles 

brushes streak 

tickle 

gold is today 

by moonlight 

it glitters 

one of us begins: 

 

Gold is back then 

gold is do you remember 

two wild children on carpet 

burns on knees 

which then stick to pajamas 

gold is then bathing for a long time with trousers on 

  

I open my mouth and guide their paintbrushes 

between autumn leaves 

Under the full moon I teach: Male gaze is surely understandable to forget 

 

The red handle of a carving knife 

„Mom, my horse's front hoof has broken off“ 

A gaping line between fingers 

„Mom“ 

stumble 

bracing 

golden horseshoes on the plaster 

 

I gently place my paw on the fracture. On the line. 

 

Gold is so cheap 

No, so granny 

gold is tooth by tooth 

by wind 

Cola 

rush 

Are you sorry now? 

No, I'm glad I took that road 

The orange handle of a shopping cart 

on the asphalt 

 

They are petting my fur 

snuggle up to me 

when their brushes 

rest 

next to naked, golden pears 

to crispy apples with sprouting hair 

next to drawn suns on soft, round bellies 

to maps on faces and crows 

on eyes 

 

Becks gold 

is so Marlboro lights 

is in the dawn 

on page 18: the golden hoof 

scribble 

coup de grace 

cutting 

 

I see under lowered eyelids of daughters 

see verses of songs 

of mothers of mothers whose mothers of teats 

crying 

bristles 

falling 

bellies 

hanging 

itching 

Thighs 

I howl with them 

 

gold is on gold 

a paintbrush gently dabs 

again burns on knees 

again two wild 

knees 

teen knees 

on a pool table 

party wet pussy 

 

I come closer, bare my teeth 

I smell fear 

Under the full moon I teach: No. 

 

A pine tuft brushes coldly over shame 

over lips 

the silver handle of a hand mirror 

three points right three points left of the line 

gold isn't cool 

Yes, it is 

I always wanted a pirate scar 

With the second chid, a new scar usually doesn't appear 

 

I growl, thats all I want. 

I told my daughters: 

When you're older, I give you the paintbrush too. Until then I lick your wounds clean and whisper: Someday you will shine just like Mom. 

 

That burns always 

still 

Favourite part 

“Mom, you can paint stones there” 

Gray is beautiful 

 

Under the full moon I teach: I send my daughters into nature, to scratch their legs on the wild tree. I stroke around them on soft paws in the tall grass, with bared teeth and shining eyes, with golden fur and golden eyes. 

 

I raise my snosut 

begin 

howl 

they are all shining now 

warmer than the moon 

I let them run 

through whipping branches 

She-wolf in front  - behind mir: seven golden furs 

warmer than the moon 

 

Bark is gold 

Do you remember?
