Drei Freunde

Meister Eckhart

Die Linien des Lebens sind verschieden
Wie Wege sind, und wie der Berge Gränzen.
Was hier wir sind, kann dort ein Gott ergänzen
Mit Harmonien und ewigem Lohn und Frieden.

Hölderlin

Great Expectations VI

Man!

When Wasim's hand touched mine, my balls pumped testosterone into my brain, and my cock felt ready for action, but whom I wanted was Man:

"Till God will reckon us
Of love, the token is
The heart of the slave."

In case I would change my mind, Wasim wrote his name and address in clean, careful capitals on half a torn-out notebook page, and his e-mail address:

Great Expectations V

Opening my eyes to cool off, I heard the sound of stones moving. Was it a snake? My mouth went dry. Had one of the camels gone astray? I sensed approaching steps and turned my head. In the light of the full moon, I discerned One Ruffian's white robe and the polished barrel of his carbine.

Great Expectations IV

Make your Peace with God!

Two weeks of fever had weakened me, but feeling safe made me bold, and when Man followed me to piss in the dark, I asked him, "Should we fuck?"

"Of a young dromedary Excellency has made the purchase…" Man changed his voice into a grinning murmur, "Do you need riding lessons? Where is your baton?"

Great Expectations III

I'm your Cow!

I had come for the exotic sex the mountain boys are famous for; disbelieving what friends had told me: Extortion, robbery, kidnapping, murder, and war. – I liked Man's voice, his eyes, his hands but who was he? What did he want from me? Was he in love with me? I should have asked the doctor to call the embassy to repatriate me. Now, I had no papers, no money, and nobody, not even I knew where I was. What if Man simply left me in the middle of this desert?

Great Expectations II

Take me to the Hilton!

Man finished his food, washed his hand pouring water with his left from the tumbler over his right hand onto the plate, chewed some anise seeds, poured more water from the jug into his wide-open mouth without touching the vessel with his lips, and asked, " Would it please Excellency to go inside?"

Getting up, my eyes fell once more on the small rosewood frame with the adage:

 

Mary wusste

Dass Arun ein Durchschnittsstudent war, und sie wusste, dass Jungen auch nur Menschen sind. Sie wusste, dass er Brahmane war, und dass es nichts bedeutet. Brahmane zu sein ist nur ein fauler Trick, mit dem ein paar besonders Schlaue den Rest der Welt aufs Kreuz legen. All dies wusste sie; sie wusste und hatte es in amerikanischen Romanen gelesen, dass Frauen für gleiche Rechte einstehen müssen.
